Activity 2

Program Initiatives of the LCF Collaborative FundsThe mission and vision of the LCF are driven by the rich Lutheran tradition of working to address important and diverse societal issues with creativity, passion and purpose. Consistent with this tradition, LCF Collaborative Funds focus on increasing the capacity of others, pursuing results that are measurable and meaningful. Together with donors, we are catalysts for large-scale social change grounded in these faith-based values. LCF Community Fund: Ending Family Violence Initiative Through this initiative, the LCF is sponsoring Healthy and Safe Congregation Workshops as part of its Ending Family Violence Initiative. Hundreds of church clergy and lay leaders have attended these workshops and returned home to better equip their congregations to respond to victims/survivors, and to be safe places for the most vulnerable from a faith-based perspective.

Activity 3

Program Initiatives of the LCF Collaborative FundsLCF Community Fund: Creation Care Environmental Initiative This initiative takes a Lutheran approach to building awareness of and lasting change to our relationship with God's creation. Its focus is threefold: 1) Help churches reduce their energy footprint; 2) Promote leadership around creation care among pastors, laity and resident theologians within the Lutheran community; and 3) Engage donors around the concern of creation care and support their individual and collective efforts to make an impact.Through this initiative, the LCF is helping build the capacity of Lutherans Restoring Creation, a grassroots movement dedicated to fostering care for creation through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; Concordia Seminary's Center for Care of Creation pilot, created to partner with congregations to equip Christians to live out their lives as responsible stewards of God's creation; and, Eco-Faith Recovery, to expand their creation care work with Lutheran leadership, youth, seminarians, Camp Lutherwood summer and staff.
