The Eagle Fund

The Eagle Fund is ESM’s annual giving fund. Gifts to the Eagle Fund provide for items in our “greatest need” and contribute to our general fund. These gifts help keep tuition affordable for all students, supports special programming, and funds projects that might otherwise be missed.

This year the contributions to the Eagle Fund will be eligible for a double match! The first $51,000 contributed will be invested in the ESM Endowment. Then, through the Lutheran Foundation’s Endowment Match Program, ESM will receive matching gift invested in the endowment and an operational grant to support our students. $51,000 can become $153,000 of impact. It’s like tripling every gift!

We count on parents, grandparents, congregational members, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty, staff and friends to invest in our students’ futures. Your gift to the Eagle fund helps create, sustain, and grow the Christian education ministry of ESM.

To learn more, please contact our principal, Dr. Ben Stellwagen at 260.422.6712 or by email below.
