Moody Global Ministries FAQ
Moody Global Ministries' endowment is so high; why do they need more money?
Moody Global Ministries is fortunate to have a substantial endowment, just over $1 billion. However, only about 5% of Moody's annual budget is obtained from the endowment each year as much of this money is held in restricted trusts or reserved for specific accounts. Also, in order to generate the same amount raised by annual funds last year, the endowment would have needed to grow an additional $42 million.
Annual giving dollars go immediately back to our mission by providing scholarships to the seminary, reducing costs of our ministry efforts, and help fund our broad-reaching radio shows. Regardless of size, your support is important and does make a difference to those who benefit from our programs.
What if I can't afford to make a large gift this year? Does my gift even make a difference?
Every tax-deductible gift makes a difference to our organization. Your gift sends a powerful message that you support Moody and our mission, and it has made a difference in your life. Gifts of all sizes make an impact. Some foundations and other grant-making organizations look at the number of gifts rather than total amounts when determining grant requests. Your gift, viewed as a vote of confidence, could help us secure thousands of dollars in funding.
What's the difference between restricted and unrestricted gifts?
Unrestricted gifts vs. endowment gifts: Money generated by our endowment is allocated in advance for specific uses. Money from the Moody Fund, in contrast, is unrestricted, meaning that it is disbursed on a current-use basis to meet some of our most pressing needs.
