More Ways to Give

Give by Check

Your IRA account trustee, financial planner, Donor Advised Fund manager, or employer may send checks directly to us. You may also choose to donate by check.

Please make the check out to "Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry" or "LPGM." It is most important that your name be included as the donor. We also very much appreciate your indication of a particular designation or purpose to which your gift is given. Gifts will be directed where needed most when there is no designation or purpose noted. 

Our mailing address is:

Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry
4570 W 77th St Ste 124
Minneapolis, MN 55435

When you will give through a third party, it is helpful to inform us of this with a quick email or phone call so we can watch for it.

We are a small organization so no staff name is necessary. If an attention line is required, please use DONATION PROCESSING. 

Planned or Legacy Gifts

Make a lasting contribution to ensure that LPGM’s programs continue well into the future. Here are several ways to make a financial commitment from your estate plans:

  • Bequests: Make a gift to support our future work by including LPGM in your will or living trust which offers an estate tax charitable deduction. These gifts can provide a critical base of reliable support for our programs.
  • Retirement Plan Assets: Use your tax deferred retirement plan to continue supporting our work. If you have an IRA and are over the age of 70½, you can make a gift directly from your account without paying federal income tax on the withdrawal.
    Learn More about Qualified Distributions.
  • Charitable Trusts: Explore ways a life income gift can pay income to you or your chosen beneficiary for a term of years or for life and also provide future support for our global ministry.
  • Life Insurance: Naming LPGM in a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for family support or liquidity may be an excellent vehicle for a gift. Consult your tax advisor to see if this type of planning makes sense for you and your loved ones.

Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a charitable organization like LPGM and become eligible for an immediate tax deduction. You can then recommend grants from your fund over time. By using a DAF, you centralize your giving, making record-keeping easier.  

Information to share with your DAF administrator: 

Legal Name: Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry Inc.

Federal Tax ID (EIN): 41-1818525

Mailing Address:
