Deepening alumni engagement

One of our top priorities in 2022 was to deepen our partnership and engagement with our alumni. Thanks to the work of our Alumni Associate, the Rev. Deacon Rebecca Terhune (MTS, ‘15), we greatly increased our communication with sons and daughters of the House. New points of connection include regular webinars designed to support alumni in their ministries, a Facebook group to help former classmates stay in touch, the Founders’ Day Giving Challenge, and in-person alumni gatherings in cities across the country.

In 2022, we also made significant progress toward our goal of growing our alumni donor base. Currently, a quarter of our alumni are also donors. We are well on our way to achieving an alumni giving rate of 35% by fiscal year 2026.
