For more than 200 years Andover Newton has maintained its commitment to the future faith leaders of the world as the “School of the Church.” This commitment can only be fulfilled through the generosity of our alumni/ae, churches and friends who partner with us in this sacred calling. Your support is essential for us to remain on the forefront of theological education.

The school is grateful to all who made gifts and pledges in fiscal year 2011. Every gift helps to advance the educational excellence for which Andover Newton is known around the world.

Few gifts will have as much leverage on the issues congregations and communities you care about as those you make to theological education. Countless professional and lay leaders of churches, educational institutions, mission programs and outreach agencies have found their pathway of preparation through Andover Newton. Won’t you join us in helping them?

The Donor Bill of Rights

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life.

  1. To be informed of Andover Newton Theological School’s mission, of the way the school intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
  2. To be informed of the identity of those serving on Andover Newton’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
  3. To have access to Andover Newton’s most recent financial statements.
  4. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
  5. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
  6. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
