If you pay estimated federal taxes and would like to support mission congregations in the ELCA even as you save for your taxes, this might be your lucky day!

A MissionPlus investment (through the ELCA Mission Investment Fund) might be just what you’re looking for. You can make automatic monthly deposits to a MissionPlus account (minimum $100) to cover your estimated quarterly tax payment, and your money will earn interest for you as it is loaned to ELCA congregations for purchases of land, construction of first units, relocations, and renovations.

Then, when your estimated taxes or final tax payment is due, you’ll have money available to cover your tax liability. You can write a check for your taxes, saving yourself the worry of last minute scrambling (or borrowing) to pay Uncle Sam.
