Legacy Circle
Established in 2021, the Legacy Circle honors those who are leaving a legacy with Siebert Lutheran Foundation in perpetuity. These are individuals and families who have made a profound commitment to advancing the Gospel and supporting ministries that share the love of Christ.
Mr. Siebert's Legacy
Albert F. Siebert, a committed Lutheran, vowed to dedicate his legacy to God's work if his company, Milwaukee Electric Tool, survived the Depression. After the company thrived, he donated his entire interest in 1952 to establish Siebert Lutheran Foundation. Today, his gift has grown, allowing the Foundation to support nearly 100 grantees each year and make a lasting impact.
Siebert's Legacy Circle
The Legacy Circle is made up of generous donors who are deeply committed to growing the Lutheran Christian community. Members have:
-
Established an endowment fund at Siebert during their lifetime, or
-
Named Siebert Lutheran Foundation as a beneficiary in their will, or
-
Designated Siebert as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary of a charitable trust, IRA, life insurance policy, or POD account.
