LWML Endowment Fund

It isn’t necessary to have a special occasion to make a contribution to the LWML Endowment Fund. If you want to remember or honor a family member or a friend, or want to recognize any other entity, you are encouraged to remember The Florida-Georgia District LWML Endowment Fund.

Started in late 2001, this fund receives monies given as honorariums or as thank-offerings to any person or entity you choose. The fund is in addition to the Kuiper Fund which provides scholarships for eligible students in our district. Gifts for any of our funds should be sent to the Financial Secretary:

Karen McCarthy
You may email her

The Mighty Mites

Our mite box is now trademarked and should be noted with a "Tm." Mite collections exceeded expectations during the last biennium with a total collection of over $161,000! Now it is time to begin saving mites for the new biennium - $97,800 will be needed just for our grants and scholarships. In addition, funds are sent to national for their mission grants. October is the month when we observe the work of the LWML in our congregations. Place a large Mite Box (Tm) in the back of your church and encourage everyone to give!

Please note mite gifts cannot fund a specific grant. All monies received are deposited into the general mite fund.

Please send checks to:
