World Service Fund is the heart of our denomination’s world-wide presence, underwriting Christian mission and ministry around the world. This fund strengthens our evangelism efforts, stimulates church growth, expands Bible studies, and enriches spiritual commitment.

Black College Fund was started in 1972 to provide consistent funding for eleven colleges whose roots are in the Freedman’s Society, which was established after the Civil War to help meet the educational needs of newly freed individuals. These institutions make a quality education available to many who have experienced racial, economic, or academic barriers at other colleges.

Africa University Fund supports the only United Methodist, degree granting university on the continent of Africa and the first private university in Zimbabwe. The University was initiated by vote of the 1988 General Conference. The University promotes academic excellence and the physical and spiritual development of men and women from all over the continent of Africa.
