Katie’s fund for bold leaders, creative ministries

12.20.2022
|
Daily Grace

Katie Luther was the wife of Martin Luther, a bold and brave woman who brewed beer, raised cattle, managed a busy household, and kept the theologian in line.

In honor of this bold woman, Women of the ELCA established Katie’s Fund in 1997 to support and sustain the ministries of Women of the ELCA. Now, leaders in the women’s organization have launched a capital campaign, 2122: Growing Katie’s Fund for the next 100 years with a goal to raise $1 million.

“By expanding Katie’s Fund by one million dollars through this new campaign, Women of the ELCA can continue to multiply the reach and impact of women’s leadership and ministry in the church,” said Linda Post Bushkofsky, Women of the ELCA executive director.

Dollars given to Katie’s Fund are invested in ministry, now and future. Katie’s Fund supports ministry in leadership development, global connections, and living theology.

“We use the fund to raise bold leaders for the women’s organization and support creative ministry for generations to come,” Bushkofsky said.

This message is excepted from “New campaign hopes to build women’s ministries into next century” by Terri Lackey from the June 10, 2022, blog of the Women of the ELCA. Today we commemorate Katharina von Bora (“Katie”) Luther, renewer of the church, 1552.

To contribute online to the campaign, go to welca.org/donate and select “Katie’s Fund” in the pulldown designation menu. To contribute via a check, make your check out to Women of the ELCA and write “Katie’s Fund” in the memo line. Mail to: Women of the ELCA, ELCA Gift Processing Center, PO Box 1809, Merrifield, VA 22116-8009.
