KATIE'S FUND

Celebrate the bold life of Katharina (Katie) von Bora Luther and help to raise up bold women of faith for generations to come.  All gifts to Katie’s Fund support ministry in three areas: leadership development, global connections, and living theology.  Katie's Fund was established as an endowment in 1997. Since then Katie's Fund has raised over $1,000,000. The interest income is used each year, helping to grow and generate more support for ministry, year after year.

Here are some projects supported by Katie's Fund in recent years:

• A workshop about bullying and outreach to leaders at the ELCA Youth Gathering
• 25th Anniversary Liberia Tour
• Tanzania journey to promote fair trade coffee 
• Young Women's Leadership Event at United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
• Words Matter language project 
  
• Program resources of the Women of the ELCA
• I Believe You, an Emmy-nominated documentary about domestic violence and how faith communities respond
