Endowment Fund

As we look to the future we are excited about all that is ahead as God continues to lead us in new directions. But we've also learned that it is our responsibility to be careful stewards of our gifts and resources. To help ensure growth and sustainability for this ministry we have established the Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp Mission Endowment Fund. The Fund will provide monetary support for unbudgeted expenses in 6 primary areas:

  • Camperships
  • Specialized or new program funding
  • Endowed staff positions
  • Capital improvements
  • Strategic facility acquisitions
  • Disaster or contingency fund

All cash gifts, planned gifts and bequests can be designated to support the Mission Endowment Fund, Annual Giving, or donor designated project.Options to consider: A $10,000 will endow one camper scholarship. A $75,000 gift will endow a summer staff leadership position.
