How can we overcome the network inequality that many of our ethnic minority staff encounter when raising funds for InterVarsity’s work? My work joins many others working on new models for fundraising that makes roles like InterVarsity staff accessible for all.
Why does this matter?
Approximately 36% of the college population, not counting internationals, identify themselves as ethnic minorities. Of the 40,219 active InterVarsity students, 15,060, or 38%, identify themselves as ethnic minority or multiracial students. (website)
We desire to effectively minister in every corner of this diverse student population and increasingly our staff team is representing this diversity. This necessitates us growing in the area of the funding of our staff.
Join us in praying for a new season for our movement and let me know if you would like to help me think through next steps.
