Ready to Rise
Your gift by June 30 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000, to help underfunded staff be fully present on campus this fall.
Right now, 70 full-time staff lack the funding to be on campus when students arrive this fall.
That means missing out on new student outreach and sharing the gospel in the most formative moments of a student’s life.
You can help underfunded staff get on campus before school starts — so more students can find Jesus and become world changers.
Jasmine’s Story
Jasmine loves developing students … so much so that it was easy for her to say yes to planting a fast-growing South Asian chapter, in addition to leading a multiethnic chapter on a different campus.
But a deficit in funding meant having to press pause on her time on campus despite students’ growing hunger for God.
Destiny’s Story
God is using staff like Destiny to cause a movement of faith to rise up on her campus. But Destiny is stuck trying to reach full funding because her personal network has limited resources.
Discover what’s at stake for students when staff struggle to reach full funding.
Help more students find Jesus
In a world that’s changing faster than ever, students are anxious, lonely, and searching for stable ground to stand on.
They’re also more spiritually open.
And arriving on campus this fall, they’ll be asking big questions in their search for real hope.
Raise up leaders for the future church
InterVarsity staff meet students where they are, sharing the gospel that offers peace within the noise.
But underfunded staff need your help before the school year starts.
Through your generosity, you’ll lay a foundation of funding that spreads the gospel, helps students find Jesus, and raises up leaders for the future church.
What underfunded staff are saying
See how your gift supports underfunded campus ministers through Strategic Staff Grants that help staff be fully present for students.
“Giving to staff grants provides the opportunity for staff who have limited resources, communities, and connections to follow God's call for them to be on campus.”
– Taylor Berces, Campus Staff Intern
Polk State College, Florida
“Being able to receive a grant, it just takes a weight off my shoulders … The grant has pushed me to be funded enough to where I can be on campus.”
– Destiny Carter, Campus Staff
Bakersfield College, California
“I didn’t come from a community of believers that knows what it looks like to give money to ministry or to the church or to tithe … Receiving Strategic Staff Grants has helped me tremendously with the gaps I need to close.”
– Jasmine Zuniga, Campus Staff
Texas A&M-San Antonio, Texas
“Without Strategic Staff Grants, made possible by generous gifts to underfunded staff, I would not be here, serving with InterVarsity for 13 years.”
– Jonathan Tran, Regional Field Operations Director
Red River Region
Multiply your impact across campus and around the world
Your gift will double, up to $30,000, to provide underfunded staff with focus and stability to help students find Jesus.
The potential for impact is a hundredfold. When staff are present to offer consistent leadership, they can cultivate healthier chapters that spread seeds of the gospel all across campus and into the world.
“And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” – Mark 4:8
