Lutheran Laypeople's League Of Australia Limited
About
The Lutheran Laypeople's League of Australia Limited (LLL) is a charitable financial institution established in 1921. It provides financial resources and services, including discounted loans and grants, to support the mission of the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) and its associated entities. The LLL aims to transform money into a force for good by assisting Christian organisations and communities across Australia.
Giving Philosophy
LLL operates with a 'Finance with a Mission' philosophy, believing that money can be leveraged to promote church development and further the spread of the Gospel. They achieve this by accepting investments (deposits) from individuals and businesses whose primary purpose aligns with supporting LLL's charitable objectives. These funds are then used to provide tailored, lower-interest loans to Lutheran schools, churches, congregations, and aged care facilities, as well as direct grants for mission outreach, camping ministries, and scholarships.
Tips for Applicants
Applicants should clearly demonstrate how their project or initiative directly supports the mission and ministry of the Lutheran Church of Australia or its associated entities. For Mission Outreach Grants, focus on grassroots community impact. For scholarships, outline how the training will enhance current or future ministry service.
