<hr>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a
particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution
toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's
original intent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, <strong><span
style="text-decoration: underline;">not more than</span></strong> 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors (compared to a not-more-than ceiling of
10.5 percent the previous fiscal year). Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.</span></p>
<!--<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Our Tax Identification Number: 43-0658188</span></p>-->

[Jesus said] "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a
man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and
buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of
fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he
had and bought it." (Matthew 13:44-46) Read More

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton,
Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.
A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted,
will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may
receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely
applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible.
In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact
contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that
aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be
contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most
closely matches the contributor's original intent.
Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging
economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure,
not more than 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to
administering gifts and communicating with contributors (compared to a
not-more-than ceiling of 10.5 percent the previous fiscal year). Contributions
received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this
statement.
