Why Give
For over 160 years, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary has served as a graduate theological school that prepares skilled, bold and articulate leaders who share the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Related to The United Methodist Church, with an ecumenical and international reach, we prepare leaders who are equipped to live and proclaim the Gospel and to teach in diverse congregations and educational settings.
Ways to Give
There are a wide variety of ways you can support Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. The Seminary welcomes outright and planned gifts of all kinds. Gifts are especially needed for the Annual Fund and unrestricted endowment. Each way of giving is essential to ensure that our students have the necessary tools and training to be transformational leaders in churches and communities around the world.
Annual Fund
Your annual gift each fiscal year shows your pride in Garrett-Evangelical, and it gives the next generation of religious leaders the same opportunity. Such gifts can be made by check, by credit card, or by electronic transfer from your bank to ours.
Planned Giving
Make a Lasting Investment in Our Future

Monthly Giving
Monthly gifts provide a steady stream of income and allow the donor to make smaller gifts that add up to a larger gift over the course of a year. Such gifts can be made by check, by credit card, or by electronic transfer from your bank to ours.
