The Triumphant Love Lutheran Church Endowment is designed to provide a permanent source of income to support the church’s work in the community. Donations to the Endowment offer a meaningful way to make lasting gifts that support the church’s mission. Managed by the Endowment Committee, these funds are allocated exclusively for grants and do not cover the church’s general budget or operating expenses. Contributions are welcomed year-round, with particular emphasis during Easter and Christmas.
If you would like to learn more about the Endowment or how you can contribute please fill out a Connections Card.
Our mission is to provide the congregation an opportunity to honor, celebrate, and memorialize loved ones and events through donations to the Endowment and the Memorials/Honoraria Fund and to reach out to those in need through grants to non-profit organizations.“You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:10.
Donors can make gifts to the Endowment in honor or memory of a loved one, in celebration of occasions, by naming Triumphant Love Lutheran Church as owner of life insurance policies, or through other personal commitments. The generosity of contributors to the Endowment allows lives to be touched, not only in Austin, but throughout the world. The grateful responses received from the recipients affirm the impact. It differs from other church Funds in that it is permanent fund that is invested. Up to 5% of the Endowment is made available for grants each year.
Applications deadline is the last day of September; decisions are made in October. See applications under the Documents & Forms button above.
This fund operates within the TLLC Endowment and is dedicated to providing grants to 501(c)(3) organizations. Grants issued from the Unrestricted Fund may support our local community with various needs, including assistance for the unhoused, survivors of abuse, medical aid, and those in financial distress. The fund also provides scholarships for congregation members and other students pursuing seminary, higher education, or leadership development. Additionally, it supports mission efforts and congregational community programs.
Individuals, accredited educational institutions, and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations are all qualified to receive a grant from the Unrestricted Fund. Grants shall be awarded only for projects or items that are outside of the operating budget of TLLC, that are consistent with the religious and ethical standards of the Congregation, and that are seen to have the potential for achieving their specified purposes.
The TLLC Endowment Committee aims to reintroduce an annual fundraiser, with plans to relaunch the event in 2025. This revitalized event will support the Endowment’s goals and foster community engagement. Funds raised will directly support the growth and sustainability of the Unrestricted Fund.
