Iowa Great Lakes Lutheran School’s Reaching Higher Shining Brighter capital campaign continues to raise funds for the new school addition. Even though we are currently in the new classrooms, the capital fundraising committee continues to make calls and is seeking donations from those who support Christian Education. We are now set up to receive gifts of grain, real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRA accounts are another way to support the campaign.
Our goal for the initial phase of construction for the six classrooms, restrooms and storage rooms is $1,900,000. We currently stand at $1,257,000 in contributions and pledges received from 78 giving units. IGLLS currently has 153 students enrolled that represent 26 different congregations from 12 (twelve) communities in Spencer and the surrounding area.
If you would like to become involved with the campaign, know of someone who would like to make a gift or pledge to the campaign or would like to know more about IGLLS in general, please let our Principal Sarah Popp or our office manager, Holly Pearson know and a member of our capital campaign committee will follow up with them. Thank you for your continued support of the IGLLS ministry. May God continue to bless us all as we work together to build His kingdom and teach the children about Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
