Sustained by Partnership

It is through the faithful giving of individuals, churches, alumni, businesses and foundations that Campus Outreach is able to reach college students with the gospel. Our primary concern with the funds entrusted to us is the faithful stewardship of them before the Lord and our donors. Staff members raise funds for the ministries they conduct. Donations are used for the reasonable compensation and ministry expenses of our staff members, ministry programs, student summer training, and mission projects.

Where does my donation go and how are they used?

Plus Circle

Any giving to Campus Outreach Columbia is a donation to the organization as a whole. Campus Outreach Columbia will accept gift preferences for ministry associated with an individual staff member with the understanding that, to accomplish ministry through people, Campus Outreach Columbia pays compensation (salary, taxes, and benefits such as health insurance) and appropriate expenses related to the ministry (such as mileage to a ministry event) provided that their support account is healthy. Campus Outreach Columbia will seek to honor the donors’ preference, and our accounting records will track the use of those contributions.

What are campus budgets?

Plus Circle

Campus budgets help fund:

  • Bible study materials and food to start up evangelistic Bible studies on the campus each semester
  • Materials and snacks for weekly meetings as well as other events on campus for the year - that more students on that campus might be exposed to Christ!
  • Training and team-building for the campus staff team once a year, so that they might be more effective in ministering to students.
