As part of the campaign, McPherson College is building a new fine arts center, a science facility, and a performance hall. These capital projects are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2001. Bob Knechel, Executive Director of College Advancement, attributes the success in meeting the Mabee Foundation challenge to the dedication of alumni and friends of McPherson College. The Mabee Foundation was incorporated in 1948 and supports capital campaigns in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The purpose of the foundation is to aid Christian organizations, charitable organizations and institutions of higher learning.
Grants are limited to building projects and purchase of major medical equipment.
