Empowering Leadership Through Legacy: How a Legacy Fund Accelerated Ministry at North Carolina State
When InterVarsity’s Black Campus Ministries chapter was planted at North Carolina State, it had one goal: to create a Christ-centered community where Black students could grow in faith and leadership. Like many ministries, it faced challenges—especially during the pandemic. But today, the chapter is thriving, and its impact is undeniable.
Your support helps renew campuses and develop world-changers.
How? When you make a gift to InterVarsity, your valuable donation may go to any of the following areas:
- Planting new chapters on campuses with no known gospel movement
- Funding our campus ministers who provide vital discipleship and leadership coaching to students
- Developing student leaders through conferences and on-campus leadership development programs, students who are our leaders of tomorrow, shaping our churches and institutions, families and neighborhoods
- Providing scholarships for students to attend life-changing camps and conferences
- Producing award-winning books and video resources through InterVarsity Press, Twentyonehundred Productions, and the Journal of Christian Nursing
Sustaining Ministry and Empowering Growth: How a Legacy Fund Transformed InterVarsity's ministry at Davidson College
For students at Davidson College, InterVarsity has been more than just a campus ministry—it’s been a place of spiritual growth, deep community, and transformative encounters with Jesus. But in 2021, the chapter faced a significant challenge. When the InterVarsity Campus Minister transitioned to a new role, the ministry was left without dedicated staff leadership for nine months. The search for a new staff minister took time, and when the right leader was found, another hurdle emerged—she could only commit to part-time hours due to financial limitations.
Your gift can be more meaningful to you:
- Make a dedicated gift in honor or memory of someone special.
- Make a directed gift toward a particular program, mission, or ministry that resonates with you.
An enduring gift. You can leave a powerful legacy by contributing to or creating a legacy fund to support your area of greatest interest in perpetuity. Read more about Legacy Fund gifts.
Legacy Funds Fuel Growth in South Dakota: Long-Term Ministry Impact
In 2024, campus ministry in South Dakota faced a daunting challenge. The staff team was struggling with a growing financial deficit, and two staff members had to step away. Without immediate financial support, the ministry’s long-term sustainability was at risk.
A generous heart leaves an unforgettable legacy. God calls us to give freely of our time, resources, and love, demonstrating His kindness to the world.
“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25
Legacy Funds Ignite Student Leadership in Northern Minnesota
Northern Minnesota has always been a challenging place for campus ministry. As a rural region with economic hardships, raising funding for campus staff has never been easy. Seasons of great spiritual fruitfulness have often been followed by staff transitions, leaving many campuses unstaffed and unplanted. Yet through it all, God has remained faithful—even sustaining one chapter since 1939 and continuing to stir the hearts of students to reach their peers.
Will you invest in the next generation of campus leaders? Your support of the Legacy Fund ensures that more students can encounter Jesus, receive leadership training, and step boldly into God’s calling for their lives. Join us in shaping a lasting legacy! Reach out today to explore how you can leave a meaningful impact with InterVarsity.
