2007-2008 Annual Report

Ce l ebra t i ng God ’s Prov i s i on When Cedarville University broke ground for the new CBTS in May 2007, more than $8.4 million had already been raised toward the $11 million campaign goal. And with the generous support of donors, alumni, and friends of the University, the full funding was completed by the end of 2008. Reaching this goal would not have been possible without gracious gifts from those who understood that a biblical education is worth the investment. As an incentive to encourage involvement and finalize the campaign, a $500,000 Challenge Grant was offered to Cedarville. To secure this all-or-nothing Challenge Grant, the University needed to raise $1.5 million in gifts or pledges by December 31, 2008. Faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and friends recognized the priority of this project, and due to their faithful gifts and prayer support, Cedarville attained the Challenge Grant to complete the funding. The CBTS campaign is yet another reminder of God’s faithfulness to this institution and His desire to use the Cedarville family to influence the world for Christ. 5
