The five-year goal of $200,000 will provide funds to establish the Center and launch the various elements of its mission, including preservation, publicity, acquisition of African-American scholarly resources, and the development of a bi-annual journal on the legacy of African-American preaching.
Fellows of the Center will contribute $5,000 or more (within a five-year period) for the work of the Center.
A gift of $500,000 or more will allow for the naming and perpetual endowment of the Center.
