Some 355 donors contributed $95,150, exceeding this year鈥檚 campaign goal by 36% and all previous tallies for the Seminary鈥檚 Giving Tuesday campaigns.
The Seminary鈥檚 2021 Giving Tuesday goal of $70,000 included dollar-for-dollar matching gifts up to the first $35,000 raised. All Giving Tuesday gifts raised will be used where needed most in the Seminary鈥檚 ongoing mission to prepare the church鈥檚 future pastors, deaconesses, missionaries and other church leaders.
鈥淔rom the bottom of our hearts, thank you!鈥� said Vicki Biggs, senior vice president for Seminary Advancement and chief communications officer. 鈥淚t is wonderfully exciting and thoroughly humbling to see so many of our friends come together at once and give so generously in support of our mission. We are truly and deeply grateful for this awesome display of love for our students and support for their preparation for service to the Gospel.鈥�
The Seminary鈥檚 Giving Tuesday campaign encouraged students, faculty, staff and donors to use the hashtags #PrepareAPastor, #PrepareADeaconess and #GivingTuesday on social media to help spread the word about the campaign and to share their Seminary stories. On the Seminary campus, students, faculty and staff were encouraged to wear Giving Tuesday T-shirts to encourage the support of friends, family members and colleagues.
