A Message from Len Hoffmann VICE PRESIDENT FOR MISSION SUPPORT Dear Alumni and Friends of Wartburg Seminary,

We again present to you this annual report of your stewardship for the mission of Wartburg Seminary. We are blessed by the abundance of support you provided during the fiscal year July 1, 2011- June 30, 2012.

Wartburg Seminary received support from all over the world and the names reflected in this report indicate the various levels of support, as well as the variety of gifts that we received as we engage, equip and send valued leaders for God’s work in the world.

I would like to outline for you the variety of gifts that we receive and how they impact this work that we do together. The Wartburg Seminary Fund is the life-blood of our work. The Wartburg Seminary Fund (Every Gift. Every Year.) ensures that the mission of Wartburg Seminary remains strong and vibrant. These gifts provide our students with what they need to receive the quality theological education that equips them for ministry. Gifts to the Wartburg Seminary Fund make possible general scholarships (97% of our students receive some type of scholarship assistance).

The Wartburg Seminary Fund also provides for a quality faculty, a dedicated staff, educational and technology resources, and a well maintained campus. These gifts annually support more than 30% of our total revenue. The Wartburg Seminary Society beginning with gifts of $1,000 or more (Member Level) up to $25,000 or more (President’s Circle) brings important support from those have the capacity and willingness to grow to this level of giving. All unrestricted and annual scholarship gifts to the Wartburg Seminary Fund during the fiscal year qualify the donor for membership in the Wartburg Seminary Society.

ANNUAL REPORT OF STEWARDSHIPWartburg Theological Seminary

2 Wartburg Theological Seminary

Every year we also receive generous outright gifts to our endowment fund. Most often these gifts are given to grow named endowed scholarship funds or endowed chairs. We occasionally receive outright gifts to general endowment. These gifts, when added to our endowment Fund, allow us to invest them and distribute them according to prudent management principles and guidelines established by the board of directors. Our current distribution rate is 5.25% based on the total return of the entire endowment portfolio. Gifts from endowment provide approximately 13% of our annual support.

We are also eternally grateful for those who plan for gifts that are received at the end of a donor’s life either through will, trust, charitable gift annuity, life insurance, or beneficiary designations of retirement plans. These gifts are directed for use by the donor and may provide annual support or be added to the endowment fund where they continue to give year after year.

Finally, please remember that no matter your level of giving or the manner in which you give we are thankful for your support of our mission to engage, equip and send valued leaders.

In Christ’s Service and Yours,

The Rev. Dr. Len Hoffmann,

Vice President for Mission Support

“Please

Mission Statement

Wartburg Theological Seminary serves Christ’s church through the Evangelical Lutheran Church

in America by being a worship-centered community of critical theological reflection where

sending collaborative leaders who interpret, proclaim and live the gospel of Jesus Christ for a

world created for communion with God and in need of personal and social healing.
