Day of Giving 2023

Our Day of Giving is a 24-hour celebration of CTS and the power of giving back. It starts at midnight, EST, on Feb. 16 and takes place annually. The Day of Giving is a special opportunity for CTS students, alumni, staff, family, and friends to come together virtually and show their support for CTS’s mission and values.

The goal is to engage our community to advance the mission of CTS. The Day of Giving helps secure resources that enhance our capacity to form disciples of Jesus Christ for church and community leadership to serve God’s transforming of the world. Together—in one day—we help create a brighter future for CTS.

Your gift increases the capacity to offer an intellectually rigorous, spiritually formative, and emotionally supportive education to our students.

Your gift supports our efforts to provide affordable mental health services when they are needed most.

Your gift supports CTS as we address the issues of poverty mitigation in Indianapolis, racial equity, and justice for all.

Anyone can get involved with CTS’ Day of Giving! Simply by donating, you will make an impact. If you wish to be more involved as a CTS Ambassador, contact Gayle Spicer, Director of Annual Giving at 317-931-2340. You can also post about the Day of Giving and interact on social media using #ctsindy #dayofgiving #philanthropy
