CBC PROFILE: Year End Giving

Terry Kimbrow

      As we make our way towards the new year, many may think about making a year-end contribution to Central Baptist College. Though receiving a tax deduction should not be the primary motivation for giving, it would be financially responsible to donate before December 31 to enjoy a 2024 tax deduction.

      Central Baptist College exists to transform lives through education that integrates Christian faith and academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. With that in mind, every contribution made to CBC is a “transformational gift” because it is used to further the college’s mission. CBC has several programs designed with you in mind. One area is our Gifts that Transform program. Through this, we provide eight categories where you can designate your gift.  These include the alumni fund, athletic fund, CBC fund, fine arts fund, friends of the library fund, PACE fund, scholarship fund and student life fund.

      Visit cbc.edu/transform for descriptions of the programs and services these funds support. Please take a moment to consider these focus areas and the impact your gift could have in the lives of the nearly 600 students who attend CBC. However you choose to give, please know that we greatly appreciate your continued financial support of Central Baptist College.

         Legacy Leaders is another giving program created to help CBC alumni and friends give back. The purpose is to recognize individuals who believe in the mission and future of Central Baptist College. In this program, your contribution level, whatever the amount, will greatly impact the college's future and our students’ lives.

         Many people also consider a memorial or honor gift this time of year. When you give this way, a note will be sent acknowledging that you have given a donation (without revealing the dollar amount of the gift) to the family of the person you want to remember or the person you want to honor.

      To give online, visit cbc.edu/give. If you prefer to pay by check, please make your check payable to Central Baptist College and include the name of the fund you wish to support on the memo line. Checks may be mailed to Central Baptist College, 1501 College Avenue, Conway, Ark. 72034.

      If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Peggy Pillow at ppillow@cbc.edu or (501) 205-8834.

Merry Christmas

      I, along with the administration, faculty and staff, wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We pray that God blesses you richly through this Christmas season.
