Why Donate?
The Campus Ministry is a not-for-profit organization that relies heavily on the goodwill of others to keep operating. We believe it is important to provide students in a secular setting a space where they can explore spirituality, where they can meet like-minded young adults, and where they can feel safe expressing who they are. We are a space of sanctuary for young adults.
We work directly in post secondary institutions and bring the ideologies of liberal Christianity to students throughout the Calgary area. But our programs, and everything we do, is built and operated so that everyone — regardless of orientation, background, or belief system — feels welcome to come and be a part of our community.
We are a pluralistic community, open to all, and we advocate for the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community in all aspects of life and spirituality. We are working to unite people across boundaries, provide students with open and safe spaces, and to show that spirituality works in a university setting.
Each year we interact with over 1,500 young adults. We bring community, connection, acceptance and experiences to these people. We bring community-building drum circles to students every week, free meals and deep conversation during our simple suppers, the experience of contemplative reflection during our worship services, and so much more to students every single day and week. But to keep doing this we need great people to help us along.
The staff and resources needed to run all of our programming (and there is a lot of it) are enormous and, of course, all of it takes money.
A Gift in Your Will
If you’re over 18, you should have a legal will that reflects your current priorities and circumstances.
By including a gift to Lutheran Campus Ministry — Calgary as part of your final wishes on earth, you are making an investment in the future of young people and of our church. It is a way of helping the ministry continue even after you are gone — and inspiring others to do the same.
For a smaller ministry like LCM–Calgary, gifts in supports’ wills make a tremendous difference. Such gifts allow Chaplain Margaret to hire and mentor more student leaders, to prepare more free meals for students in need, and to bring more students to the annual LCM Retreat at Kuriakos and on Food, Farming and Faith visits to Wray Ranch.
Our registered charity number is 107649576RR0001. If you would like help structuring your gift or have other questions about making a planned gift to LCM–Calgary, please contact Pamela Giles (pamela@faithfulservant.ca 306-717-1209) or Joe Stolee (joestolee@gmail.com 403-478-9684).
Gift of Securities
Gifts of securities made directly to a registered charity such as LCM-Calgary are very advantageous to the donor because they can bypass capital gains taxes.
