Mindekirken Foundation.
In the year 2000, Larry Hauge, a Mindekirken member proposed a plan: An endowment fund of $500,000 would help secure Mindekirken’s financial future. The interest from the endowment fund would provide a safety net for unexpected expenses. His idea caught the attention of like-minded people and a steering committee was soon organized. The steering committee’s plan, simply stated: “one thousand people, each giving $100 per year for five years, equals a total endowment fund of $500,000.” The start of “KLUBB 500” that in 2009 was incorporated and named Mindekirken Foundation.
Thanks to the support of many good friends like yourselves, we have passed the original goal of $500,000 in contributions and pledges. As a result, Mindekirken Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization was established in 2010. Mindekirken Foundation continues its work as a fundraising arm of Mindekirken Foundation.
