Money continues to go into the endowment.
Capital projects are going well, but Seminary Hall is having a problem finding a donor. Donors often like to fund programs, and we should expect that some specific projects will receive a priority that may be more closely linked to donor interests than to a strict order of identified priority, while other important projects will not find donors. Gifts for the endowment are often pledged in advance and, while guaranteed, may be coming in over an extended period of five years or so. The campaign having gathered some momentum, we might expect to start increasing the projected annual amount to be raised. While the total costs of the campaign are increasing, the return is improving.
