Theological Training in Africa - How to Help
DONATIONS
THETA welcomes your tax-deductible gifts. We
will furnish a receipt letter for each gift for an approved purpose.
TCCA's Finance Committee administers all gifts other than Stuebing
support. The Board has approved the following support purposes:
- Ministry of Richard and Kathleen Stuebing at TCCA.
- TCCA National Lecturers Fund - gifts to supplement
the African faculty's income on a month to month basis.
- TCCA Student Scholarships - assisting students with
tuition and fees. Some qualified students could not attend TCCA
without additional help.
- TCCA Endowment Fund for National Lecturers - TCCA's
goal is to use the interest from an endowment of $50,000
(eventually $100,000) to establish more stability for long-term
support of African faculty.
- TCCA Revolving Loan Fund for Administrative Staff -
TCCA has (and wants to retain) excellent admin staff. Cash flow
limits how much TCCA can advance or loan to them for major
expenses such as houses or vehicles. TCCA wishes to enable these
colleagues to take out long-term loans for up to $5,000,
repayable with interest over a period of two years. The initial
goal is to establish a revolving fund of $10,000.
- TCCA Rental House Purchase - In recent years TCCA has
been able to increase support from its graduates and local
churches, but having property to rent would enable greater
stability. Rental income would support the general budget to
keep student costs within reasonable levels (tuition and campus
rentals comprise 90% of budgetary income). Purchasing a house
near TCCA is estimated to cost $50,000 to $60,000.
