Jim Schade told me. The place and time of this conversation escapes me but it was a few years ago. Jim had worked for Lutheran Planned Giving of South Dakota, now Lutheran Planned Generosity. He said “Lutheran Planned Giving has raised twenty-three million dollars for Lutheran Institutions in South Dakota. As you know, Joanne was the founder of that organization.”
She convened a meeting of Lutheran leaders when she was president of LSSSD. Out of that gathering came Lutheran Planned Giving, aka, Generosity. Included in the initial group were representatives of the Synod, Augustana College, now University, Lutheran Outdoors and others. Lutheran Planned Generosity is housed at Augustana University. Curious about how much has been given now, I went to their website but the amount is not disclosed.
Joanne certainly did good work. Rest in peace good and faithful servant.
Takk for alt,
