Together, we are equipping leaders to transform communities for generations to come.
When you give to the Endowment, you do more than fund a degree. You invest in a pastor who will help people know Christ, grow in grace, and discover their gifts for ministry. You also support a leader who can bring neighbors together and encourage local livelihoods. You help prepare the hands and feet of Christ to live the Gospel in these regions.
Your contribution is invested directly into the future of theological education: all gifts are split five-sevenths (71%) to General Endowment (scholarships and resources) and two-sevenths (29%) to Professors in Methodism. Custom designations are honored in accordance with our restrictions policy.
