Bethany Provides Grants to Local Non-Profits

Bethany Theological Seminary has made grants totaling $19,500 to Wayne County non-profit organizations that are closely aligned with its mission. The organizations selected to receive funding support at-risk and marginalized individuals. Many are faith-based organizations that address racial and economic inequality or focus on education. Several of the funded groups host Bethany students as volunteers as part of the BOLD program. BOLD (which stands for Build, Organize, Love, and Dare) is a service-based opportunity for exceptional residential students who want to put their education and faith into practice while working on graduate degrees. Recipients will be notified shortly.

“We are very pleased to support the work of these local community partners,” says President Jeff Carter. “All of these organizations make vital contributions to the well-being of local citizens and contribute to the quality of life in our community. They share our values of service and they are helping Wayne County to flourish.”

Bethany models a commitment to service in the local community. In addition to the activities of its students, many Bethany faculty and staff are active volunteers — serving on non-profit boards and participating in activities from food programs to the arts.
