Endowment Campaign

Campaign_Phase_Three
Case Statement

In order to remain strong, and attract and educate the very best leaders for tomorrow's church, Garrett-Evangelical must increase its endowment.

The seminary depends on endowment income to meet the growing expenses that are not covered by tuition and current operations support. Tuition provides less than one third of the seminary's annual operating budget, and annual gifts provide another third. Endowment income must provide the remainder.

The seminary has entered phase three of an endowment campaign, Forging Our Future. The Phate Two goal of $60 million was met and in October 2009, trustees voted unanimously to raise the goal to $100 million and extend the duration of the campaign. To read more about Forging Our Future: Phase Three, including specific endowment needs, see our Case Statement .  For your convenience, you can also print a Gift Intention Form. 

Gifts earmarked for the endowment:

  • can be unrestricted,
  • or can be restricted for specific purposes, such as:
    • scholarship support,
    • faculty support,
    • library support,
    • program support.

Many individuals choose to create named endowments at the seminary to honor the memory of a loved one or to perpetuate a tradition of philanthropy in the family name.
