Growing Our Collective Impact

We believe greater financial resources can work to grow the Kingdom and glorify God. We have answered this call by establishing Siebert Serves to grow the Lutheran community and to help Lutheran leaders and ministries thrive for years into the future.

​

In 2023, Siebert Serves celebrated five years and donors continued to trust Siebert's on-the-ground, in-depth knowledge of the Lutheran community and affiliated ministries to maximize their life’s impact.

2023 Collaborators' Event

In just 90 minutes, 31 donors committed more than $182,000 to 13 grantee partners at Siebert's fourth annual Collaborators' Event on November 9th, 2023. Part of Siebert Serves, the Collaborators’ Event is an innovative gathering designed to build a community of donors that jointly increase their philanthropic impact by bringing greater resources to Lutheran churches, schools, and nonprofit organizations. With additional commitments before and after the event, the event raised $282,850, including a $100,000 matching grant from Siebert!

Thanks to a generous gift from a private donor, five students from Journeys Lutheran School participated as grant-makers, enabling them at a young age to experience the joy of giving while understanding the impact philanthropy can make on a community. Five students representing Wisconsin Lutheran College's Center for Christian Leadership also participated as grant-makers thanks to a gift from the college.
