Katie’s Fund was established in 1997 to celebrate the
tenth anniversary of Women of the ELCA. Gifts to Katie’s
Fund support Women of the ELCA ministries in global
sharing, leadership development, and nurturing faith.
Why support Katie’s Fund?
We want our daughters and friends to have what Women of
the ELCA has given us: a community of faithful women who
support each other as together we live out our baptismal
promises. You can ensure that Women of the ELCA will
continue to provide that well into the future by giving
to Katie’s Fund today. And by giving to Katie’s Fund you
can ensure that Lutheran women will be supporting
life-changing ministries around the globe.
Give online here.
