ELW_® is a not-for-profit charitable organization. We are a self-supported ministry through direct offerings called Grace Gifts. Individuals who attend ELW events are encouraged to support ELW in the form of a free-will offering. We also receive direct donations to Grace Gifts through our national office.
Monies received support the Congregational, Conference, Synodical and National office, which includes three full-time staff members: an executive director, program editor and an administrative assistant. Grace Gifts also support the entire costs associated with board meetings at all levels and some conference events. They also maintain the office, including, but not limited to, equipment, postage, internet access, as well as subsidizing the cost of producing the many resources ELW provides. Gifts made to Grace Gifts are recognized in Esprit magazine (unless otherwise indicated).

An important part of the Grace Gifts are the prayers offered as they are presented at ELW gatherings. Download a copy of the 2010 monthly prayers to help bring focus to your gift-giving.
