Rev. Tilda Norberg Society Endowment Fund

Why an Endowment Fund?

Gestalt Pastoral Care’s vision is to facilitate the healing and growth of individuals to become all that God has envisioned, now and in the future, in marginalized as well as world communities.  The Endowment Fund, established in 2019, is designed to fund capital needs, outreach ministries, grants, new ministries and one-time projects (local, national and international) which are not covered by the operating budget.

You Can Make a Difference!

By designating Gestalt Pastoral Care’s Endowment Fund as a beneficiary in your will, trust, IRA or other estate plan document, as well as through special gifts during your lifetime, you can help assure the future of Gestalt Pastoral Care, and bring this Healing Ministry to future generations.

Why Include the Endowment Fund in your Estate Plans?

Your gift can create a personal legacy to support Gestalt Pastoral Care’s ministry of service.  It will continue your commitment to your faith, demonstrate thanksgiving for the love and nurturing provided by the Gestalt Pastoral Care community, and possibly reduce estate taxes for your heirs. 

 Occasions to Consider Making Lifetime Gifts:

  • In memory of family members and friends

  • In gratitude for a child’s birth, graduation or wedding

  • In gratitude for recovery from an illness

  • In gratitude for other blessings in your life

  • In gratitude for some special service provided by the Gestalt Pastoral Care team.
