Your gift will help cover the ongoing expenses associated with running Chapel's growing ministry to American and international students. Over one third of our annual operating budget is funded by gifts from alumni, parents of students, and other friends of the Chapel (see chart below).
Breakdown of Annual Funding
Will you help us meet the challenge? Your gifts will help "advance the gospel" (Philippians 1:12) to students at home and around the world.
Friends of the Chapel generously agreed to match new gifts to our operating fund on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to $75,000. Every dollar of support that we receive from friends like you will automatically become two dollars!
Furthermore, our friends have agreed to match any other matching funds that may be available to you through your employer or other sources. For example, if you qualify for the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Giving Plus program, our donors will match your gift and the Thrivent matching funds:
| Your Gift | Thrivent Match | Donor Match | Total Gift | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | + | $50 | + | $150 | = | $300 |
| $500 | + | $250 | + | $750 | = | $1,500 |
| $1,000 | + | $300 | + | $1,300 | = | $2,600 |
As you can see, Chapel Challenge will be a great blessing for Chapel's campus ministry!
