The EU Graduates Fund
Supporting the Graduates Fund
The EU Graduates Fund has always depended entirely on the donations and giving of generous Christian people. God has always provided!
We believe that God works in the world as each person plays their part in serving and giving, under the Lord Jesus Christ. As the Fund works to flood God's church and plans for continued growth in the hope that God blesses the EU and the EU Graduates Fund, we invite you to consider the contribution you can make in this venture. We appreciate your spiritual and financial support.
There are a number of ways in which you can partner with us in this work.

Supporters of the Graduates Fund are spiritual and financial partners in the ministry. They give financially to the work of the Grads Fund, pray and receive our newsletter updates. Supporters are generally EU Graduates keen to continue the work on campus. (More information at the spiritual and financial support pages.)Personal Supporter
Personal Supporters contribute to the ministry of the Graduates Fund by supporting individual staff members. Their giving pays the salaries of the staff member that they support. They receive regular updates from their staff member as well as the quarterly newsletter.
Staff raise a considerable proportion of their salaries to join the team, (see our financial information page for more information on the breakdown of our income), and personal supporters tend to come from their own networks of family, church and friends. These donors are generally first connected to the staff member they support, and secondarily the work of the Graduates Fund. It has been through the development of personal support that the Graduates Fund has been able to grow so quickly, and to train many Howard Guinness Staff.Student supporter by Partnership Plus
Partnership Plus is an initiative designed to invite students to join with graduates and other friends of EU in financially supporting the Graduates Fund. It is deeply significant to us that students are keen to participate in partnering with the Graduates Fund in this way.Foundation Member
Foundation Members are individuals who are aware of the blessing of the work, and therefore seek to be considerable supporters of the Fund. These donors annually give in the thousands to the EU and make up a significant proportion of Fund's general budget.Corporate Sponsor
Corporate Sponsors are organizations and businesses that give significant support to the Fund tax effectively. These donors sponsor the work in a faculty or an individual staff member and receive advertising and recruitment opportunities.Bequest Donor
Bequest Donors nominate the EU Graduates Fund as a recipient of a gift of money or property as distributed in a will. The EU Graduates Fund received its first bequest in 2004 and used the donation to seed fund the employment of a senior female staff worker. The benefits of the creation of this position will continue to bear fruit for many years; gifts of this nature tend to have wonderful long-term repercussions.
