Send Question
​Q: Does Christian Life Resources or the WELS Synod provide funding for you?
A:
No. We do not receive financial support directly from the WELS Synod or Christian Life Resources.
WELS Lutherans for Life is an independent 501(c)3 organization and we conduct our own fundraising.


Q: Is WELS Lutherans for Life related to Christian Life Resources?
A: Unfortunately, no. We incorporated in 1982 and have always been an independent organization. Christian Life Resources incorporated in 1983. Although we were affiliated with Christian Life resources (CLR) in the past we are no  longer. See the announcement.


Q: Are contributions and financial gifts spent locally?
A: YES! Your financial investment, and all contributions are use locally. Every dollar given is used to finance the ministry of saving lives and transforming families.

Q: Is WELS Lutherans for Life affiliated with any national organizations?
A: Yes. We are primarily affiliated with Care Net, Heartbeat International, and NIFLA. We are also affiliated with a few smaller organizations that help us reach and serve our target clients, abortion-minded mothers and those suffering after an abortion decision. 

Q: Why does WELS Lutherans for Life accept funding through United Way?
A: The explanation of why we participate in the United Way Donor Choice program is available in this link.

Q: If I want to help WLFL reduce costs by not receiving mailings, how much will that save?
A: Great question. We are occasionally asked to stop mailing to someone to help save the money, so it goes directly for ministry programs. It is interesting to know that an individual mailing averages $0.60. To opt out of a year's worth of mailings saves less than $6/year for one person or household.
