Quarterly Payments Forever™ for Seminaries
A disciplined approach to building long-term financial stability—so theological education can endure for generations.
Faithful institutions still face financial fragility.
Seminaries are entrusted with forming leaders for generations—yet many rely heavily on tuition, annual giving, and unpredictable funding cycles.
Rising costs, enrollment variability, and donor concentration place pressure on long-term planning. EverFund exists to help seminaries strengthen their financial foundation without compromising mission or governance.
Stability, not speculation.
Seminaries don’t need financial experiments.
They need systems designed for:
Long-term continuity
Predictable operating support
Responsible stewardship
Board-level transparency
EverFund was built with these priorities in mind.
Endowment thinking without endowment barriers.
EverFund introduces Micro-Endowments™: mission-owned funds designed to generate Quarterly Payments Forever™.
Unlike traditional endowments that require large upfront capital, Micro-Endowments™ are built incrementally—allowing seminaries to grow long-term financial strength steadily and responsibly.
A dedicated fund for institutional continuity.
Starting an EverFund means establishing a fund designed to support your seminary’s mission over the long term—providing quarterly distributions that can help strengthen:
Faculty support
Scholarships
Academic programs
Operational resilience
This is infrastructure, not a campaign.
Designed for boards, committees, and fiduciary responsibility.
EverFund is structured to align with institutional governance standards. Clear reporting, disciplined stewardship, and transparency are built into the system—supporting board oversight and responsible financial management.
This is not a black box.
It’s a system designed for accountability.
Focused on durability not short-term returns.
EverFund prioritizes long-term stewardship over short-term performance. The goal is sustainable quarterly support—not aggressive growth or financial speculation.
This aligns with the values of institutions entrusted with formation, legacy, and continuity.
Alongside tuition, donors, and existing endowments.
EverFund is not designed to replace tuition revenue, annual giving, or traditional endowments.
It functions as an additional layer of financial support—creating predictable quarterly income that complements existing funding sources.
Local calling. Global reach.
EverFund is designed to support missionaries serving around the world—across cultures, countries, and contexts.
Wherever you’re sent, financial stability helps sustain faithful service for the long haul.
Begin now. Grow steadily.
Seminaries do not need to wait for major capital gifts to begin building long-term stability.
Micro-Endowments™ are designed to start at accessible levels and grow over time. The earlier the system is in place, the greater its long-term contribution to institutional health.
Formation requires continuity.
Theological education is generational work. Financial instability disrupts faculty continuity, student access, and long-term vision.
EverFund helps seminaries align financial systems with the long-term nature of their calling.
