Stewardship helps us exercise our faith and trust in God. We give what God has first given us: our time, our talents, and our possessions. We give because it is part of God's plan and because it is essential to our partnership with God in accomplishing God's mission.
Grants help support organizations and local ministries that make a positive impact on the health of women and girls. Since 1988, Women of the ELCA has awarded more $3 million.
Scholarships are awarded annually for women in ministry, both lay and ordained
