THE LUTHERAN HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRIMARILY WORKS WITH INTERNATIONAL LUTHERAN CHURCH BODIES TO TRANSLATE, PUBLISH, DISTRIBUTE, AND INTRODUCE LUTHERAN BOOKS AND MATERIALS. DURING THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS THE LHF REVIEWS REQUESTS FROM INTERNATIONAL LUTHERAN CHURCH BODIES TO DETERMINE WHAT PROJECTS CONFORM TO THE MISSION PROGRAM OF THE LHF, ARE ACHIEVABLE, AND FIT WITHIN THE LHF BUDGET. DUE TO LIMITED FUNDING THE LHF DOES NOT BROADLY SOLICIT REQUESTS FOR PROJECTS TO BE SUBMITTED. THE MAJORITY OF LHF PROJECTS ARE WITH LUTHERAN CHURCH BODIES AND INDIVIDUALS WITH WHICH A LONG TERM PROVEN RELATIONSHIP HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. ALL INTERNATIONAL FUNDING IS DOCUMENTED BY MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS AND RECEIPTS. APPROVED PROJECT FUNDING IS DISPERSED AS NEEDED UPON SUBMISSION OF PROJECT UPDATES AND FINANCIAL REPORTS TO MONITOR USE OF FUNDS. LHF STAFF ALSO REGULARLY TRAVEL OVERSEAS TO MEET WITH INTERNATIONAL LUTHERAN CHURCH LEADERS AND TRANSLATION TEAM MEMBERS TO PLAN AND MONITOR TRANSLATION PROJECTS. IN BETWEEN STAFF TRIPS, REGULAR CONTACT IS MAINTAINED WITH TRANSLATION TEAMS VIA E-MAIL AND OTHER COMMUNICATION METHODS.
