Targeted Alumni Giving to Secular Universities
Contributions from alumni represent a significant financial resource for higher education. In 2004, they accounted for about 7.1 percent of all funding—a whopping $24.4 billion. Here is a resource to help you steward such giving biblically, effectively.

What do universities do with these funds? Given the university's drift toward political correctness, multiculturalism and identity politics, one cannot be sure whether undesignated funds will be used for purposes with which you disagree. This paper by Dr. Rae Mellichamp, Emeritus Professor and FC pioneer, challenges you toward designated giving to your alma mater for eternal purposes, to further goals like FC's. While not confining his recommendations to FC or local faculty groups affiliated with us, Mellichamp also offers vision for doing so, a sample letter to designate giving, and a bibliography. Click here to read the paper and appendices.
