Supporting the GTU
The GTU offers several opportunities to become involved, and we are pleased to recognize the generosity of our donors through invitations to events and listing in publications.
The Annual Fund and Scholarship Support
Unrestricted gifts to the GTU Annual Fund provide funds for student services, academic support, and faculty salaries. Because of their versatililty, the gifts are an incredibly important part of the GTU's fundraising efforts.
Planned Giving
The benefit of including the GTU in your estate planning is more than material; it is also a way to ensure support for the values of interfaith education—and for our students—into the future.
Financial Aid
One of the major expenses associated with the rising costs of education is the cost of tuition itself. Contributions to the annual fund enable the GTU to provide increased scholarship and fellowship support.
Endowment
By making a gift to the permanent endowment, you will support the GTU in perpetuity. Gifts can be designated for scholarships or fellowships, for specific programs, or for faculty positions.
Flora Lamson Hewlett Library
The GTU's Flora Lamson Hewlett Library is known as one of the premier collections of theological scholarship in the country. By donating to the library, you can support the continuing work of acquisition and preservation.
