Invest in the Future: The IN-KY Synod Disaster Response Endowment

Disasters are happening more frequently and with greater intensity, affecting communities across Indiana, Kentucky, and the broader Midwest. Tornados, floods, storms, and other unexpected events leave families, congregations, and neighborhoods in urgent need — not just today, but for the months and years of recovery that follow. In a time of growing uncertainty, long-term sustainability in disaster response is not just wise, it’s essential.

The Indiana-Kentucky Synod Disaster Response Endowment is a strategic, forward-looking investment in our ability to respond effectively to disasters now and in the future. Endowment gifts provide permanent, reliable support for the Synod’s disaster response ministry, ensuring we can:

  • Support immediate and long-term relief efforts in communities impacted by disaster across Indiana and Kentucky.
  • Maintain flexibility to respond to emerging needs as disaster frequency and severity increase.
  • Sustain the Disaster Response Coordinator, the key role who mobilizes volunteer teams, directs resources, and keeps partnerships strong.
  • Grow resources over time, allowing the Synod to plan strategically and expand programs that strengthen congregations and communities in their resilience and recovery efforts.

By contributing to the Disaster Response Endowment, donors are making a gift that keeps on giving, building a foundation of support that ensures the Synod can respond with faith, compassion, and action for decades to come. In a world where disasters are increasingly frequent and unpredictable, an endowment offers stability, foresight, and the ability to act when communities need us most.

Give today to invest in long-term disaster response in Indiana and Kentucky — and ensure that when disaster strikes, the Synod will be ready to serve, support, and restore communities now and for generations to come.
