One thing much of the country learned during the weeks that followed December 26, 2004, was that Lutheran World Relief is literally at the top of the list of highly ranked international relief and development organizations. With a fiscal stewardship any supporter would be proud of, and with effective, long-term projects that maximize the use of the gifts entrusted to us, LWR represents the perfect conduit for well intentioned people to open their hearts and their wallets to help others around the world.

We encourage you to look as closely as you want at LWR, and into other organizations you may be considering supporting. Check out the report at American Institute of Philanthropy. Then, by all means, tell others about the great way you’ve found to help people in need! Tell them about LWR!

100% of donations to South Asia Tsunami/Wave of Giving are helping those in need. Please continue to visit waveofgiving.org for the latest information about how your gifts are being used! And remember, though Wave of Giving is fully funded, your gifts to LWR's general fund will enable us to respond quickly to the next emergency

Donations can be made by phone, 1.800.LWR.LWR.2, or by mailing a check or money order to
