Bethel Celebrates a Record Year
Truly, friends of Bethel are catching the vision for Taking the Next Step, a campaign aimed not only at erecting buildings, but at motivating an increased sense of stewardship for Bethel University among our friends. Bethel needs you and you have responded. A heartfelt thank you!
A Special Thanks for Generous Hearts
It’s time to recognize God’s immeasurable goodness and grace for a banner year! Prompted by His sovereign care for Bethel University, you faithfully responded to our current and future needs through vital financial gifts. Because of your generosity and that of other alumni, friends, and parents who believe deeply in Bethel’s mission, we ended the 2006-2007 fiscal year on May 31 with goals met and exceeded in nearly every giving category.
Here are the major highlights:
- $9.465 million in total giving was raised this year, marking the third year that more than $9 million in total giving was received.
- Annual Fund contributions came in at $3.017 million, exceeding the goal for the third consecutive year.
- New planned gifts amounted to $2.95 million.
- Gifts and pledges made during the phonathon increased by more than 730, reflecting a higher rate of alumni participation and contribution.
