From Milwaukee’s earliest Lutheran immigrants to today’s Legacy Circle members, generations of faithful leaders have answered a common call: serve our neighbors and strengthen our community. Members of Siebert's Legacy Circle gathered for an evening of fellowship, dinner, and a fascinating look at "Shaping a City: Milwaukee's Lutheran Heritage", including a special tour of historic Grace Downtown. These Legacy Circle members are helping strengthen Lutheran ministry for years

Honoring Dr. Joan Prince for a decade of leadership that challenged the Foundation to think boldly, lead faithfully, and invest in lasting impact.

Siebert board, staff and their families celebrating the retirement of Siebert board directors Julie Van Cleave and Joan Prince. A tribute to Julie Van Cleave, whose 27 years of faithful leadership helped shape the mission, stewardship, and future of the Siebert Lutheran Foundation. Some leaders are remembered for the moments when they took center stage. Others are remembered for what became possible because they were in the room. For 27 years, Julie Van Cleave’s influence has

A special THANK YOU to Rev. Chris Manke, Executive Director of Outreach for Hope, for sharing his time and talent with Siebert to capture these beautiful photographs from the conference.

A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyo

We reflect on 2025 with deep gratitude for the faith-filled vision of our founder, Albert F. Siebert, and for our family of grantee partners, donors, directors, and staff, who continue to carry that vision forward. Seventy-three years ago, Mr. Siebert made an extraordinary investment rooted in his trust in God. Today, that single act of faith has grown into a shared movement, where generosity brings people together to accomplish far more than any one organization could alone.

For many individuals living with chronic disease, healthcare becomes a cycle of crisis—relying on emergency rooms for reactive treatment rather than receiving consistent, coordinated care. The Bread of Healing Clinic (BOHC) is changing that reality through an integrative model that treats the whole person, not just the condition.

Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee continues to grow—expanding both its campus and its capacity to serve students with excellence and care. Serving more than 900 students from across Southeastern Wisconsin and beyond, the school remains deeply committed to preparing young people for productive, Christ-centered lives in a diverse world.

For many, stepping into a church building can feel unfamiliar or even out of reach. So, what might church look like if it met people where they already are? Through its partnership with Faith+Lead, Siebert is helping Lutheran congregations reimagine how they engage their communities, building capacity for new approaches that extend the reach of the Gospel in relevant and life-giving ways.

The gym at Kingdom Prep Lutheran High School was buzzing with energy on November 5, 2025, as more than 130 people gathered for Siebert Lutheran Foundation’s annual Collaborators’ Event. What unfolded over the next two hours was a vivid picture of generosity in motion. Attendees pledged more than $470,000 on the spot, bringing the total raised through this collaborative giving model to over $1.3 million since the event began in 2020. With Siebert’s $100,000 match, more than $

Why 2025 Offers a Unique Opportunity to Bless Others New tax law changes coming in 2026 will affect how charitable deductions are calculated. For those already planning a major gift, 2025 presents a meaningful window to act. While giving is never about the deduction—it’s about devotion—this year offers a chance to make your generosity go further and strengthen ministries doing God’s work. New tax legislation passed this summer introduces updates that will influence how—and wh
