Tabor College is constructing a new academic center that will transform learning, entrepreneurship, and the integration of faith and work—benefiting our students, community, and the world. Construction is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. Over $9 million has been given or pledged towards the $12 million goal, including $1.3 million from the Mabee Foundation and $2.4 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Would you invest in the next generation of faithful entrepreneurs and business leaders with a gift or pledge to complete funding as part of The Next Century Campaign?
