How to Financially Support the LWF Jerusalem Program

LWF Jerusalem is supported financially through the contributions of Lutheran churches, private individuals, and organizations that work for justice, peace, and humanitarian aid. The generosity of these donors provides healthcare, education, and emergency relief to Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.  Donors may also contribute toward the construction of affordable housing for the Palestinian Christians of Jerusalem.

All contributions of any amount are helpful and appreciated. LWF Jerusalem will send you a receipt acknowledging the arrival of your donation. If you wish to donate money to a specific project, please indicate which project on the memo line of a check, or in an accompanying note. If you are making a donation by bank transfer, please send us an email at [email protected] so we know to expect your donation.
