Employer Matching Funds Program

Many companies offer a Matching Funds Program. Employers often match its employees’ charitable gifts. Often employers will match dollar for dollar, though some even give double or triple the sum of their employee’s donation. Each company will have its procedure. Talk with your Human Resource Department for more information.

Current Needs

Technology and Software
Technology is the most significant asset we have in advancing biblical resources on gift-based rather than gender-based ministry. It allows us to complete more tasks in less time and with better results. To keep up with yearly technological advances, CBE must raise more than $60,000 each year. Donate to technology and software today!

CBE Conferences
CBE hosts conferences every year in major cities all over the world. These conferences not only provide resources and teaching on biblical equality, but also much-needed fellowship for those who believe they are all alone! Yet to do this, we need funds for advertising, staff salaries, scholarships, and seed money to reserve venues for future conferences. Can you help? We need your financial fellowship to reach individuals on a personal level! Donate to CBE conferences today!

Sponsor CBE on the Road
Nearly each month, CBE has a presence on academic campuses, and at conferences around the world. At each event, we bring hundreds of resources that provide a biblical foundation for gift-based rather than gender-based ministry. It is very costly to provide inspiring resources that reach general and academic audiences of all ages. The cost just to rent a book table often exceeds $1,000! Shipping our resources to the conference and bringing along staff costs even more money. But these events provide opportunities for people to encounter ideas and resources that set them free to use their God-given gifts! Will you help us reach many hurting people by making a generous contribution? Donate to CBE's outside conferences today!

Giving Philosophy

CBE is committed to using our resources wisely, and we have made every effort to seek out accountability and support in this endeavor. CBE is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), which “provides accreditation to leading Christian nonprofit organizations that faithfully demonstrate compliance with established standards for financial accountability, fund-raising and board governance.” Read more about ECFA. CBE also participates in GuideStar, the online standard for nonprofit accountability.

CBE holds to the biblical teaching that giving is one of the highest demonstrations of a personal commitment to Christ. When we invite you to give to CBE, we desire to minister to you as well as promote the cause of Christ.

We view our fundraising activity through the words of the apostle Paul to Timothy:

1. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life (1 Timothy 6:17-19, TNIV).

Paul reminds us that we are not simply fundraisers; we are ministers who assist each other in our Christian responsibility of personal stewardship. We are sincerely interested in our donors and desire to meet your needs. We strive to challenge you to think about stewardship, but never to pressure, coerce, or deceive you. Our task is simply to present the opportunity to give; your response is solely between you and God. We hope to cultivate strong relationships with you as we work together in mutual ministry. Thank you for your generous support!
