6. Donate to our Mission Fund!
We have partnered with Charitus, a unique charitable foundation supporting members and congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), to ethically invest in a fund dedicated to the church’s mission of serving others. Each year, interest from this fund supports programs and initiatives that have a positive, long-term impact in our community. The bigger the fund, the more opportunities we have to support those in need. Consider donating today! Contributions can be made via e-transfer with a note to support the “Mission Fund”, or through planned giving arrangements (e.g., in your will).
We welcome your philanthropy! We will be extremely grateful to all members and friends who will leave a lasting legacy with a planned gift to support the Martin Luther Church Toronto and its ministry for future generations.
NOTE: Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church, like all Canadian and North American churches, is completely dependent on individual donations, grants and volunteers. Contrary to the German model in which churches are supported by the government, we receive no tax dollars in funding.
