Help Us Enhance the Mission and Future of Ashland Theological Seminary

By Entrusting Us With Your Charitable Giving

ATS Foundation Mission

ATSF exists to increase the Kingdom impact of Ashland Theological Seminary by independently raising, stewarding and granting funds exclusively for the Seminary’s use.

Shared Values

Our shared values are intended to permeate all dimensions of the Foundation and shape the way we pursue our mission. These values promote resonance and alignment among our donors, our team and our partners. We consider these values to be the durable guiding principles that sustain our approach through changing times and people:

Christ-Centered

ATSF is committed to the belief that scripture contained in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are trustworthy and vital to illuminating the ultimate truth, values and path for we who choose to follow Christ.

While we acknowledge and respect the diversity of Christian traditions, ideas and practices within the church, we share a common commitment to act, discern and influence in ways that reflect and honor God in every way.

Institutional Independence

While we highly treasure our personal and organizational relationships with Ashland University and Ashland Seminary, we understand the distinct value of our unique ability to make funding decisions that are not limited by operational or budgetary constraints of our recipient institution. Our independence benefits our donors by ensuring that their alignment with the historical and theological values of Ashland Theological Seminary are always preserved and honored.

Stewardship

As a rain barrel catches God-sent rain and saves it to ultimately nurture and sustain life, we believe that we are entrusted with precious funds that come from God to increase the flourishing of the Kingdom on earth. Because we understand that the gifts we manage come out of God’s abundance, we have the joy of stewarding them with generosity, encouragement and responsibility.

Highest Standard of Ethics

Knowing that trust is earned through credibility and reliability, we are dedicated to giving highest priority to compliance with prevailing laws, regulations, policies, practices, morals, conveying the highest level of confidence among our donors and recipients.
