Give to Bethel University
Annual Fund—Royal Investors
In 1958, five individuals with a passion for expanding the mission of Bethel formed the Royal Investment Corporation. This venture was organized to facilitate the construction of a new campus and a broader vision for Bethel. As a result of the dedication of this core group and the subsequent many friends who supported the vision, the initial seminary campus was constructed on the Arden Hills campus in the mid-1960s and the college campus was begun in the early 1970s.
Since that time, Bethel has referred to donors as “Royal Investors,” a name coined to honor the faith and dependence up on God that characterized those in the original Royal Investment Corporation.
During the year, the Office of Development hosts various Royal Investor Gatherings. These events provide great opportunities to spend time with other friends who share a financial commitment to the mission of Bethel University and to its students. Royal Investor Gatherings also allow donors to learn more about what the Lord is doing at Bethel.
