At Lutheran World Relief, we envision a future where everyone, everywhere, can live full, dignified lives.
It is a hope we have held onto fiercely since 1945, in the aftermath of World War II, when our forebearers in faith began this legacy of love. It is a vision that persists today because of generous donors like you, who boldly proclaim their faith through compassionate service to others.
At Lutheran World Relief, planned giving makes this future possible.
A gift in your will is a powerful act of Christian stewardship. It protects your loved ones and the causes that you cherish most — while ensuring your faith-driven values make a lasting difference.
These enduring gifts support our neighbors during immediate crisis and empower them to lift themselves out of poverty in the long-term, changing lives for generations to come.
Your love means neighbors facing malnutrition receive lifesaving food — and learn to grow nourishing crops in extreme weather patterns. Families reeling from disasters gain safe shelter and clean water, while reducing risk and building resilience.
For mothers like Pabanbati Chaudhary, love is life-transforming.
Pabanbati once struggled to provide for her family. Using bulrushes she collects at the river, she weaves traditional Nepali mats that are used for sitting, sleeping and drying seeds. But without the skills or business knowledge to make her mats profitable, she often ended up losing money.
After training funded by gifts like yours, she and her cooperative are making higher quality mats that sell for 300% more each. With her new income, she built a home, educated her children and began saving for the future.
Planned giving makes it possible.
Let your love flourish — to Pabanbati and so many others — by pledging a gift in your will. Learn how by requesting our Guide to Leaving A Gift in Your Will today.
