Annual Fund gifts are a form of daily bread for the seminary. The $1.760 million for fiscal 2009/10 required to meet our operating budget enables the seminary to offer scholarships to 80 percent of our students, to pay fair salaries and benefits, to maintain the building, and to keep the library collection up to date and in order. Gifts of any amount are always welcome for the Annual Fund.

A gift of $1,000 or more will be matched. A gift can be designated for a particular purpose or left undesignated.

A gift of at least $1,000 may be designated as a named Annual Fund scholarship. An Annual Fund scholarship is given to one or more students within an academic year (as distinct from an endowed scholarship from which a portion of the earnings is expended for scholarship, with the principal amount left invested to generate a scholarship from year to year).
