The Marquart Fund exists for the purpose of providing material and financial support to The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti and her fledgling seminary, Concordia Theological Seminary - Haiti. 

At the request of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti, The Kurt Marquart Fund has expanded its role in providing resources for the ELCH and her seminary.

KMF is a 100% volunteer organization. With our expanded role, we need [ahem] more volunteers! To learn about volunteer opportunities with KMF, click here
