St. Mark Lutheran Church

St. Mark, as it supports Risen Savior Lutheran School along with St. Paul's of North Mankato, is in a capital campaign fund to build on to the school.  We are in the process of Phase 1 which involves 4 new classrooms.  We are looking to raise up to $1.2 million.  In order to begin construction we need to obtain $400,000 in cash and $400,000 in pledges. 

MATCHING CHALLENGE

The Feed My Lambs Capital Fund Campaign has been richly blessed again!

Anonymous individuals will match dolor-for-dollar any new cash donations or pledge commitments in the form of two challenges, namely, a Cash Matching Challenge - $50,000 and a Pledge Matching Challenge - $50,000. The conditions of the challenges are quite simple.

Cash Matching Challenge - $50,000

The anonymous donor will match all NEW cash contributions up to $50,000 that are received between August 1, 2012 and September 2, 2012. It is important to realize that this challenge only applies to NEW cash donations. There is a commitment card that must be used. The “Cash Matching Challenge” portion needs to be completed to identify a cash contribution as NEW money and properly identify the donor. Whether or not individuals have already made a cash contribution, the cash contribution designated on this form will qualify as NEW cash.

Pledge Matching Challenge - $50,000

The anonymous donor will match all NEW recorded pledges up to $50,000 000 that are received and recorded between August 1, 2012 and September 2, 2012.

It is important to realize that this challenge only applies to NEW pledge commitments. There is a commitment card that must be used. The “Pledge Matching Challenge” portion needs to be completed to identify a pledge as NEW money and properly identify the donor. Whether or not individuals have already made a pledge commitment, the pledge designated on this form will qualify as a NEW pledge.

Accountability and Records

To be certain that everything works properly, the following process must be observed:

• Fill out the Cash Matching Challenge and/or the Pledge Matching Challenge portion of the commitment card and complete the donor identification.
• The Cash Matching Challenge form must accompany any new money contribution and must be received before September 2, 2012.
• The Pledge Matching Challenge for any new pledges must be received and recorded before September 2.

This is a wonderful opportunity! Thanks to the anonymous donors! Pray that the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of all potential donors so the dollar-for-dollar matching funds are maximized.



At the end of July, 2012 we have been graciously given $188,342 in cash and have pledges of $258,906.
