Home Alumni & Friends Support Tabor College

We celebrate the chance to become what God intends us to be. It is this wonderful discovery of what God already knows to be true about us that is the experience at Tabor. Be a part of this journey by supporting our students. Gifts from alumni, parents, and friends provide scholarships for students with financial needs. Your gifts enhance all aspects of students’ academic and co-curricular experiences.

Tabor Fund

The Tabor Fund provides support to students through scholarships and textbooks as well as advances support for operational expenses.

Matching Gifts

You can double the impact of your charitable contribution to Tabor College by obtaining a matching gift form through your employer.

Phone-a-thon

The Tabor College Phone-a-thon employs several students to reach out to alumni and friends each year — keeping them engaged and informed about the latest developments at Tabor College.

In addition to raising support and keeping TC alumni/friends engaged, student callers collect updated contact information to ensure the college can stay connected. When you receive a call from one of our students, please take a few minutes to learn what’s new, update your contact information and see how your support can make a positive impact.

Plan Your Legacy

Endowed Scholarship

By establishing an endowed scholarship, you change the lives of students, many of whom could not afford to attend Tabor College without your support. Your gifts secure a source of financial aid in perpetuity while providing an opportunity for you to recognize a loved one, a favorite professor or your own legacy at Tabor College through the naming of the scholarship.

Planned Giving

Planned giving allows you to find ways to make charitable gifts now or after your lifetime—all while enjoying financial benefits for yourself. A misconception is that gift planning is only for the “wealthy.” The truth is, even people of modest means can make a difference through planned giving.

Planned gifts are sometimes referred to as “stop-and-think” gifts because they require some planning and often help from your professional advisors. Unlike cash donations, they are typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income and come to fruition upon your death.

Vision Keepers – Honoring the Past…Securing the Future

Tabor College was the dream of Mennonite Brethren pioneers. Seeking to provide a training ground for their children, their vision was to offer liberal arts education within a Christ-centered context. Through the dedication and generous spirit of His people, God has established and sustained the college for more than 110 years. Early founders, as well as dedicated alumni and friends, have been vital to the beginning of Tabor College and to its continued existence.

A new group of people called the Vision Keepers has been created to secure Tabor’s future. Focused on endowment growth, Vision Keepers are those who make provisions for Tabor in their estate plans through deferred gift arrangements.

Trusted planned giving advisors are available to assist in the coordination and facilitation of one’s charitable and estate objectives. If you have specific questions or would like to explore the possibilities of providing for Tabor in the future, download the following brochure:
