Campaign Story

Join Us in Making a Difference!


We are Chi Alpha Missionaries at The University of Alabama, passionately dedicated to reconciling students to God on campus. This spring, in order to continue our mission, we need your help! With just $924 left to raise in monthly support after the new year, your support will directly impact the lives of students searching for hope, purpose, and community. Together, we can create a welcoming environment where young people can find faith, grow in their walk with God, and be equipped to share that faith with a world in desparate need of hope. We believe when students' lives are intersected with the Gospel, it changes the university, their families and communities, the workplaces they will enter, and the world they'll interact with.

Imagine the power of our collective effort! Your contribution, no matter the size, can help us reach this goal and allow us to serve even more students. By investing in this mission, you are investing in the future leaders of our communities! Let’s rally together and ensure that we can return to campus this spring and continue making a real difference. Will you join us today?

HOW YOU CAN MULTIPLY YOUR IMPACT

$76,800 is a big number, but there's good news! We started this campaign only needing $1,600/month!

The grand total here is our remaining monthly budget for our entire 4-year term! (i.e. $1600 x 48 months = $76,800)

So how do we get to continue working on campus? We either have the entire cash amount raised or receive monthly gifts totaling $1,600. Here's how your monthly gift can knock down this budget!

$25/mo = $1,200!

$50/mo = $2,400!

$75/mo = $3,600!

$100/mo = $4,800!

$200/mo = $9,600!

$1,600/mo = $76,800!

Your monthly gift x 48 = maximum impact!

We're Fully Funded!

Grace Cormier •
Our fund raising largely turned to individual meetings and sharing in churches around Alabama after this campaign and we failed to update the totals here, but we want to update now that WE ARE BACK AT BAMA! As of July 4, 2026 we are fully funded and able to dedicate our efforts fully to making disciples of Jesus who make disciples at UA.
Thank you to everyone who gave and prayed as we worked to finish our budget. The impact of Giving Tuesday 2025 was monumental in helping propel us toward the finish line. We appreciate everyone who took the time to give more than we feel we can adequately express.

May God continued to be glorified through your generosity to impact students at UA!

<p>Happy Giving Tuesday! We're so grateful to everyone who has given so far! We had to update this graphic no less than 7 times because gifts kept coming through as we were making it. <strong>THANK YOU! </strong></p><p></p><p>The $68,260 still needed is our remaining monthly ministry budget over our entire 48-month term. This means we only need $1,422 a month to return back to campus! Every gift that qualifies for the bonus today chips at least $1.14 off our remaining monthly budget.<strong> Thank you for making an impact in university students' lives! Your investment helps transform the university, the marketplace, and the world for the Kingdom of God. </strong></p>
