Most of the projects listed below are items we would like to work on for this coming academic year, 2012-2013, in addition to asking for support for our general fund (operating expenses). However there are also long-term planning projects that come up from time to time that need more time and planning to fund. One of these projects is a new library buildling.
For more information on each of these projects, please click on the links below.
2012-2013 Projects:
Annual Fund - $3,000,000
The annual fund is our largest need of funding and is probably the least understood by most people. It is in a sense, a 'catch-all' category and includes everything from salaries for our faculty and staff to heating, cooling and lighting our classrooms. We try to run a lean operation so that your gifts are used as wisely as possible to help us operate the seminary.
More information on the annuall fund will be coming soon.
Funded Scholarships - Needed funding: $1,500,000
Our goal is to raise support for Westminster funded scholarships this year so that we can continue to provide assistance to students preparing for future ministry who might not be able to afford to come to Westminster otherwise. This is currently funded from our general budget fund and support from donors towards scholarships would help us eliminate our expense deficit.

Carriage House Loft - Needed funding: Approximately $200,000*
In the 2011-2012 Academic Year, we were able to renovate the first floor of the carriage house to provide a place for students to gather in groups for study or to share meals. We are now turning our attention to the second floor of the carriage house, which is used for students to relax, study, have conversations and for Student Association meetings.
More information on what we'd like to do and photos of this project will be coming soon.
Willow Grove Gatehouse - Needed funding: Approximately $150,000*
The Willow Grove entrance gatehouse has had a rich history on our campus of providing housing at different times for faculty, students and staff. We have many visitors each year to Westminster but we've not had adequate or comfortable housing for them on our campus. Renovations to the Willow Grove Gatehouse will allow us to provide a more welcoming environment to our guests.

Church Road Gatehouse - $20,000 (This project is already funded.)
We are thankful for the funding that has already been provided for this project and renovations began early in June.

Smart Classroom Initiative - $375,000 (This project is already funded.)
