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.
Create a Lasting Legacy
Follow in Albert Siebert’s footsteps and leave a legacy that extends beyond your lifetime. A gift to the Siebert Lutheran Foundation amplifies your impact by drawing on over four decades of grantmaking expertise, ensuring your values live on in service to the Lutheran Christian community.
