The Stewardship Leaders Program, in collaboration with Thrivent Charitable, invites you to apply for an Endowment Lab Grant. This grant program is designed to support Luther Seminary students, faculty, staff, and programs. All applications must align with Luther Seminary’s welcome, vision, and mission statements, and the project must benefit the Luther Seminary community. This year the Stewardship Leaders Program will match the Thrivent Charitable award dollars, so we hope to give away over $15,000, with a maximum single grant award of $4,000. Grant applications will be judged by the summer Money and Mission of the Church class as part of their education on endowments. Find out more and apply online. Grant applications must be received by August 2 and winners will be notified by the end of August. If you have any questions about the program or the application please email Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program at gpomroy001@luthersem.edu.

Beginning Friday, June 5 and ending September 5, summer hours as described in the staff handbook go into effect. Summer hours are designed to help employees create lengthened weekends by allowing them to work shortened lunch breaks equal to 30 minutes Monday through Friday to free up 2.5 hours on Friday afternoon. If you have any questions about how this applies to your specific department or schedule, please review the staff handbook and talk to your manager or reach out to the HR department.
