Giving Day 2025

This Giving Day come Together in Ministry to support the next generation of faith leadrs. Your gift supports students as they prepare to do God’s work in the world.

On Giving Day, every gift counts. Whether you give $25 or $1,000, your support helps Garrett continue its mission to nurture leaders for transformative ministry.  When you give, you join a community of faith-driven supporters who believe in the power of ministry to change the world. Donors may designate gifts as they prefer. Every gift will be matched with a donation to the annual fund.

Your gift matters. Your impact lasts. Your generosity expands God’s community. Together, we can reach these goals in just 24 hours:

 

  • 350 donors
  • $100,000 in gifts to meet our matching challenge
  • 50 new donors making a first-time gift

 

How Your Gift Makes a Difference

 

Designated gifts support:

 

  • Support for ongoing operations and essential programs which benefit students every day. Unrestricted funds provide vital resources for students by funding essential programs, covering daily operational costs, and addressing the seminary’s most pressing and current priorities.


  • Scholarships for every student ranging from 50% to 100% of tuition.


  • Support for alumni ministries through unique continuing education offerings and research—designed to enrich your personal, professional, and spiritual journey—offered by the Garrett Collective and Styberg Library.

When you give, you join a community of faith-driven supporters who believe in the power of ministry to change the world.

Our Students are the heart of Giving Day! They are answering God’s call in powerful ways, preparing for lives of ministry and service. Their journeys are inspiring—and we invite you to experience them firsthand.
