MIF4KIDZ
Start saving for their bright futures today.
A MIF4KIDZ INVESTMENT functions like a savings account specifically designed for children, and can be purchased by adults for kids aged 16 and younger. It makes an ideal baptismal, graduation, birthday or Christmas gift for a child or grandchild. MIF4KIDZ investments are a great way to set aside money for college or other needs and teach children good stewardship and money management while connecting them to the life of the church. The minimum initial deposit is $50. Additional contributions of at least $25 may be made at any time. Interest is then added to the principal quarterly.
Many ELCA congregations purchase MIF4KIDZ investments for children at their baptisms. Congregations have found this investment to be an effective way to invest in the future of young people and, at the same time, help advance the mission and ministry of the church. Once the investment has been purchased, a custodian -- usually a child's parent or guardian -- is responsible for the investment. The investment matures on a minor's 18th birthday.
