widespread study abroad opportunities and funding for missions and service trips, the Annual Fund helps to make every facet of a Messiah education possible for our students.

 

Because tuition does not cover the entire cost of educating our students, we rely on the Annual Fund to provide more than $1 million per year to help us provide the transformative experience our students seek and deserve.

 

Gifts to the Annual Fund can also multiply in indirect ways when a significant number of alumni participate. Foundations and corporations consider alumni participation a fundamental indicator of institutional strength, and they often base their funding and grant decisions on this important metric.

 

The Messiah College Centennial Campaign offers the opportunity for those who support the Annual Fund to be counted among campaign contributors. Whether gifts are large or small, together, they have the capacity to make a world of difference for our students, who in turn make a difference in the world.
