2026 Matching Gift Opportunity!

We are thrilled to share an extraordinary development! A household that previously contributed $750,000 to Welcome 150 has been so deeply inspired by the congregation’s response that they are now offering an additional $750,000 as a dollar-for-dollar challenge gift to encourage renewed generosity throughout the congregation! This generous challenge gift is an energizing catalyst, renewing our enthusiasm for the renewal of Augustana itself!

  • Securing additional commitments of $750,000 will trigger the entire match and allow us to add $1.5 million to our existing commitments, moving us very close to the $7 million Phase Two objective.
  • Reaching the $7 million mark will position us to begin the Fellowship Hall remodel before the Phase One projects of sanctuary renewal and organ refurbishment. This Fellowship Hall “face-lift” will provide for a renewed space for worship when the sanctuary will be unavailable during construction in 2027-2028.

The match will apply to NEW 2026 GIFTS/INTENTS.

Please complete this ONLINE INTENT FORM to make a commitment of a new gift towards the match. This may be your first campaign gift, or it may be in addition to your previous gifts/intents.

Welcome 150: The Campaign to Renew Augustana

Augustana’s heart for the gospel and for generosity is contagious. We’re grateful for the exceptional staff and lay leadership within the congregation. These leaders guide our life together and give of their faith, time, skills, and money to lead well.
