Donate

We are grateful for the financial support of the ELCA and the synods of Region 1. But these sources of financial support do not cover the cost of providing ministry and programs to students, faculty and university staff. More than 50 percent of our budget is raised through donations from congregations, individuals, and fundraising activities. You can help provide solid support for ministry on campus by using one of the following giving options.

Electronic Giving

To make an easy, safe, secure donation online, please visit Vanco Services. Electronic fund transfers and credit cards are accepted.

SimplyGiving

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers simple, regular online giving through their SimplyGiving program. You must be a Thrivent member to use this service.

Thrivent Choice

Luther House is identified on their list of approved ministries as Lutheran Campus Council of Corvallis.

Sustaining Presence Giving Club

This is an option for those who want to make periodic, regular gifts to the ministry of Luther House. You choose how often to give. Either send a check or use the online giving option above to establish your gift amount and frequency.

Endowment Fund

The “We Care for the Future” Endowment was created by and for campus ministries of the ELCA to invest in the future of campus ministry. Gifts given to Luther House for the endowment fund are deposited in the pooled assets of the ELCA Foundation. Each quarter we receive a dividend from invested funds which we use to support Luther House programming. While the principle is protected, the growth increases ministry options for us. As the fund grows, so do the opportunities for new, creative campus ministry programs.

Alternative Gift-Giving

This giving option honors a child, grandchild, spouse, partner, or friend on any special occasion. Make the gift in any amount in honor of any one or any occasion and Luther House will send a card acknowledging the honoree.

Memorials

Gifts in memory of a loved one or friend may be given at any time. Use the giving options above to create a lasting memory.

Planned Giving
