"Taking the Next Step" Campaign Update
Eyes on the Goal
Like runners racing toward the finish line, Bethel University's comprehensive resource campaign, "Taking the Next Step," is pushing forward to achieve its $105 million goal. To date, a total of $85 million has been given or pledged to meet Bethel's needs today and ensure its future. Friends have given generously to enhance facilities, build the endowment, improve program support, and strengthen the Annual Fund.
A gift to the Annual Fund is a significant way to be part of this campaign, which concludes May 31, 2008. Every gift counts, and every gift matters. To make a contribution or to inquire about how your could make a commitment that will match your interests with needs of Bethel students and faculty, please contact the Office of Development at 651.635.8050 or toll-free at 800.255.8706.
