Annual Fund Campaign
The annual fund campaign runs from August 1 to July 31 each year. This year’s campaign is the 2007–2008 Moving Forward Annual Fund Campaign. This campaign will build on the solid foundation of the 2006–2007 New Beginnings Campaign when over $390,000 was raised. More than that, many individuals began supporting Austin Grad on a monthly basis. Thank you to all who partner with us to equip ministers and other Christians for service in the Kingdom of God. This year our goal is $420,000. This amount will help keep student costs down, provide scholarships for deserving students, and help maintain our excellent faculty. Please prayerfully consider how you may join with us in this effort. If you have any questions please contact Kirk Eason, Director of Development and Public Relations, at keason@austingrad.edu, or 512-476-2772.

Keepers of the Flame
Keepers of the flame support the school with an annual, one-time gift. Gracious one-time gifts of $10 and up have been received. The average one-time gift in 2006-2007 was $262. These gifts can be given by check, or credit card.

Light Bearers
Light Bearers sustain the school and its mission through monthly contributions. Last year, monthly gifts ranged from $10 to over $600 with an average monthly gift of $102. These gifts can be given by credit card, check, or monthly bank draft.

Pay for a Day
By making a one time gift of $300 or by committing to $300 given over a period of up to one year, you may honor or memorialize an individual or group with the Pay for a Day giving option. Instruction on the day that you choose will be in recognition of the individual or group you choose. Notification of your gift will be sent to them and a poster will be placed outside our front offices on the specified day acknowledging the honoree. The poster will then be sent to those you chose to honor or to the family of the one you chose to memorialize.

Pay for a Week
Pay for a Week of instruction is also an option. A week of instruction is $2,100. As with Pay for a Day, Pay for a Week can be either a one time donation or a commitment over a one year period.

Endowments
For many years Austin Grad has been blessed with people that believe in its mission. Generous donors have provided over four million in endowments for the school. Yet, these funds only cover about one-third of our costs each year. Since a gift toward endowment is invested and the interest used to provide for annual support of the school, endowments are truly the gift that keeps on giving. One may endow a scholarship, teaching chair, or other activity. For more information on giving to endowments, please contact Kirk Eason, Director of Development and Public Relations, at (512) 476-2772.

Planned Giving
Planned Giving options are designed to help individuals and couples redirect money from taxes to institutions of your choice. Planned gifts can take the form of a will, trust, insurance policy, retirement plan, or a life income gift. Please see your financial advisor concerning how you may benefit from these different options.
