"Dollar-In Dollar-Out" Pass-Through Donations

Lutheran Church Charities operates with a policy where 100% of the money donated to a specific need, goes toward that need. The transaction costs will be paid by LCC administrative funds, not from a percentage off of the donation.

Non-Designated gifts will be applied toward the most urgent need.
