7th Annual Fall Fundraiser

September 22nd – 30th, 2025

You are invited to participate in our annual fall fundraiser taking place September 22-30, 2025. 

Our goal is to raise $10,000 in 9 days!

This year’s theme is “Cultivating Joy,” which is rooted in Psalm 51:12: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.” (NRSVUE)

In the midst of all that weighs heavy in the world, we believe now is the time to lift up joy—and to support the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing of seminarians, clergy, and faith communities.

During our campaign, we are…

Sharing glimpses of joy

      • Through quotes, images, and reflections on social media and through email to our newsletter subscribers (click here to subscribe to our newsletter).

Hosting a joy-themed scavenger hunt!

      • Where YOU have the opportunity to “hunt for” everyday moments of joy in your life during our 9-day campaign (and we hope that you will continue this practice after the game aspect of it is over).  Note: You do not have to donate in order to play.
      • Game starts: 9/22/25
      • Game ends: 9/30/25
