Our Savior’s Lutheran Church Foundation
About the Foundation
The Our Savior’s Lutheran Church Foundation was started years ago for the purpose of supporting the ministry of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. The Foundation is responsible for gathering assets, managing assets, and making distributions to serve OSL.
The Foundation board works diligently to establish policies and procedures for all activities of the Foundation and provides ongoing oversight of those activities.
Each year the board evaluates requests that reflect current needs of Our Savior’s and available funds are distributed to fulfill those requests. During the past five years, the Foundation has given $623,100 to Our Savior’s to support various ministry needs. Contact the Church Office, 605-336-2942, to obtain an annual report of the Foundation to view the variety and importance of those distributions.
The Foundation gathers and grows assets in numerous ways, but in the end it is the generosity of members and friends of OSLC that is the key to long-term success. The Foundation manages approximately $3 million, which has grown over the years because members have been active stewards. Some gifts come in the form of memorials and some in the form of donations, but most of the growth of the Foundation’s assets has come through legacy gifts. Legacy gifts involve a process in which donors determine the ultimate purpose and beneficiaries of their financial and estate plans. If you have contemplated ways to make a lasting impact on the mission of your church home, contact the Church Office, 605-336-2942, or any of the foundation board members listed below for assistance.

OSLC Foundation Notes
Here is a list of people who have made recent gifts to the OSLC Foundation. When gifts are made they honor our loved ones. Those gifts also help us with the grieving process as we recall and cherish memories as we press on without them. The monetary support serves the OSL congregation for years and years, sometimes seen, sometimes unseen.
It is important for you to know that your gifts are greatly appreciated and stewarded with the utmost care by the OSLC Foundation board. Contact the Church Office, 605-336-2942, or any of the Foundation board members to talk about making a gift.
