View MapCompetition Day: April 20
For months, students from four Concordia universities conducted research, designed marketing plans and rehearsed presentations leading up to April 20: the day of the LCEF National Student Marketing Competition. Members from each team traveled to St. Louis and pitched their ideas to attract new and younger investors to LCEF. We captured some of the highlights of the day in this video.

Big Events Support Churches, Schools
Planning a wedding, buying a new house or retiring in the near future? Targeting a specific date for some of your investments can help fund those plans. Term notes are invested for a specific period of time and remain yours to redeem at the end of the term or to re-invest. While invested, they are not only building your dreams, but helping fund a loan for a school or church.
Conserve Resources with LCEF's Help
Renovations to facilities often save utility costs and free resources for ministry. Consider an LCEF loan to create more energy efficient buildings or update for better accessibility. The Architectural Advisory Committee Laborers For Christ can provide recommendations and help implement your projects.
Funds for Lutheran Education
Funds put into a Coverdell Education Savings Account IRA can be used at any level of schooling, not just college. Distributions from this type of IRA are tax-free for qualified elementary, secondary or higher education costs, which can include tuition, computer equipment, room and board. And best of all, they can be used to send your children or grandchildren to an LCMS school or university.
