What is the Divinity Fund?

The Divinity School Fund is the unrestricted annual fund that supports students of the Wake Forest University Divinity School.

What is the intended use of Divinity Fund gifts?

Gifts given to the Divinity Fund will go 100% to assist Divinity School current students with scholarship aid and tuition concessions. Wake Forest University Divinity School wishes to be deliberate in selecting the best students whose true offerings to Wake Forest and the community exceed our expectations. Gifts to the Divinity School support the future of theological education and aid in the formation of tomorrow's ministries.

What are my giving options?

You can make a pledge or an gift outright. You also have the option to give a one time gift or join a gift club. Major Gift Club members are invited to special events throughout the year, including President's Weekend. It is important to note that in order to hold a gift club membership at least half of your commitment must be unrestricted to the Divinity School Fund and/or another annual fund.
