ELCA Campaign Update
The ELCA’s first comprehensive campaign, Always Being Made New: The Campaign for the ELCA, is celebrating the completion of its second year with $80 million in current gifts and pledges, representing 40 percent of the five-year, $198 million goal by Jan. 31, 2019.
A $100,000 match for International Women’s Day was met and surpassed with a total of $123,313 raised! The funds will support scholarships for the International Women Leaders Initiative through ELCA Global Church Sponsorship. Meeting this goal was a huge victory for the Campaign for the ELCA and the women from our global companion churches who receive scholarships as part of this initiative. We give thanks to the generous donor who made the matching gift, all of the donors across the church (more than 650 individuals and congregations) and for everyone’s effort in making this a success. Together, we doubled our impact in women’s education.
