The All Saints Foundation was established in 1986 as a separate, nonprofit, charitable corporation. It provides a means for church members and others to express their gratitude to God for the blessings they have received, or for other personal reasons which may prompt them to consider the church in their charitable giving plans. The eight directors of the All Saints Foundation are All Saints Lutheran Church members. The pastor and congregation council president also serve as directors.

BEQUESTS AND WILLS
The use of bequests in wills is one of the most significant ways of supporting the Foundation. A lifetime stewardship plan may make provision in a will for the continuation of the Lord’s work. Depending on your circumstances, bequests to the Foundation may have beneficial estate tax ramifications.
SECURITIES AND REAL ESTATE
Tax laws recognize financial support for institutions like the All Saints Foundation. Appreciated securities given to the Foundation can provide special tax benefits to the donor, including a reduction or elimination of capital gains tax.
