What is the 2% Discount?

The 2% discount on health contributions is offered by Portico Benefit Services to reward seminaries, churchwide ministries and employers in synods with strong health assessment participation. Collectively, the ELCA can save $2.5 million if all synods (and employers within a synod), seminaries and churchwide ministries qualify for the discount.
