Report on Philanthropy 2017-2018

A Letter from the Vice-President for Advancement and Communications

The names on the following pages represent the donors who have made this year possible. In good times and bad, it is our donors who have sustained the mission of Claremont School of Theology. American philosopher and psychologist William James once said, “The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” And that is what our donors have done for more than one hundred years. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a long-time planned giver, I am grateful for the ways you continue to support current students and for the legacy of faith, love, and justice you’re creating in the world. There are many ways to give and areas to support at CST – one of the most important of which is the support of student scholarships. As evidenced in the stories of alumni/ae, faculty, and trustee donors on these pages, your philanthropy supports theological education for the real world and for the world we want to be real. So, find your name and/or organization on the following lists and consider how you might wish to step up your giving in 2018-2019, because now, more than ever, the world hungers for the kind of pastors, religious leaders, scholars, theologians, and activists who graduate from CST.

you

With sincere thanks,

Rev. Sharalyn Hamilton Vice President of Advancement and Communications
