Bethany Fund is the name we call our annual fund. It is central to maintaining our year-to-year mission of preparing ministry leadership for the church. Nearly half our annual operating budget depends on Bethany Fund gifts. This graph from our most recent annual report shows the breakdown of various kinds of gifts that make up our annual program revenue.

Significant support comes to the Bethany Fund from President's Associates donors, from a host of individual donors of varying other amounts, and from nearly 500 congregations of the Church of the Brethren.

Some donors choose to make periodic gifts monthly or quarterly, and some make a larger one-time gift per year. On whatever schedule fits your plans, it is easy to give to Bethany. You may give by check, regular electronic bank withdrawal , or by credit card online. If you have appreciated property, please check with us whether that might make an especially good way to make a gift.
