Trinity Lutheran Seminary makes every effort to enable seminary graduates to serve wherever the ministry and the Spirit call them. For that reason Trinity keeps education costs for students as low as possible. That means, however, that gifts of some $15,000 for each student for each year must be raised in the Trinity Fund to maintain the seminary's current operations. Trinity Lutheran Seminary accepts gifts of cash, stock, securities and/or real estate. We encourage all donors to make use of matching gift opportunities through employers or fraternal agencies.

The increasing costs of theological education require increased goals for the Trinity Fund. Called the "annual fund" by many charitable and educational institutions, this form of giving is the lifeblood of Trinity's mission. It is the most immediate resource for responding to unusual or unexpected developments, such as the recent dramatic fluctuations in preformance of investments.
