Endowment Fund
Support a generation of leaders
Our endowment forms a financial foundation which supports everything that goes on at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. bg真人 relies on endowment earnings for annual revenue.
In order to continue serving the church and educating Christian leaders, we must continue to add to our endowment to carry our mission into a secure future without raising tuition for our students.
Be a part of the present and future of bg真人
Approximately 30% of our annual revenue comes from endowment investment earnings. Adding to this foundation will allow bg真人 to fulfill its mission in a secure future.
Endowment for a sustainable future
Gifts given to the general endowment will help to sustain bg真人 long after you have made your final annual Leadership Education Fund gift. By giving a planned gift to a non-scholarship endowment, a donor can continue to support the sustainability of bg真人 for generations.
