Annual Grant to Promote African Issues in honor of Louise Shoemaker, former dean of Penn’s School of Social Work.  Go to Open Mind Fund for Africa .

The Christian Association is growing and moving in a new direction! Initiatives for 2007-2008 include an alumni network, partnering congregations, and CA House improvements. Our goal to fund these initiatives during the fiscal year is $60,000 (not including current gift levels). Our work to raise these funds will include increased foundation/grant and corporate fundraising, as well as strengthening relationships with individual donors. Donations can be made in the following areas:   

Alumni Network to develop concrete ways to honor our alumni and increase participation.   

Partnering Congregations to strengthen and support similarly-minded congregations.

Seminary Program to offer campus ministry experiences for future spiritual leaders.   

Volunteerism/Activism to provide Penn students with leadership and service opportunities.   

CA House Improvements to create more open, welcoming, and usable space.   

Sexuality and Women's Ministry to support Rev Dr. Beverly Dale’s ministry.   

General Operating Funds to help decrease our reliance on our investments.
