TARGET YOUR GIFT
We promise to be excellent stewards of your gifts and use them wisely to make the greatest possible impact. You can choose to target your gift and give to whichever fund pulls on your heartstrings.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Through your donations, Daystar U.S. provides partial to full scholarships for students in need. In 2016 we supported 152 students. Still, each year 300 to 400 students are turned away from Daystar University because of lack of funds. Your gift to the scholarship fund always goes directly to help a student. Help us make a bigger impact than ever by giving to scholarships.
With the help of generous donors in the U.S., Mary got a degree in business accounting.

DAYSTAR FUND
A gift to the Daystar Fund enriches the educational experience for every student at Daystar University. The Daystar Fund supports a wide variety of operations in the U.S. and Kenya like faculty development, new computers, classroom equipment, athletics, and student counseling services. A gift to the Daystar Fund is a great way to say you support our mission to bring sustainable change to Africa.
Gifts to the Daystar Fund enrich the educational experience for students and faculty at Daystar University.
INSTITUTE OF LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Institute of Leadership and Professional Development (ILPD) exists to support the vision and mission of Daystar University by providing Christ-centered specialized education and services to leaders of churches, Christian institutions, and individuals. ILPD offers classes that enhance biblical values, professionalism, and excellence for the transformation, reformation, and renewal of the Church and society in Africa and the world.
ILPD conducted a five month training for local Kenyan bank managers in early 2016. The course work focused on self-awareness, communication, workplace conflict management, among others.
STOCK DONATIONS, ENDOWMENTS, & PLANNED GIVING
STOCK DONATIONS
There are several benefits to donating your stock to Daystar U.S.:
+ You'll be giving a valuable gift with no out-of-pocket cost.
+ You'll capture the value of your stock and stop worrying about market ups and downs.
+ You'll receive an income tax deduction for the full amount of your gift.
ENDOWMENTS
Our scholarship endowments are the financial building blocks to help Daystar look to the future with confidence. An endowment gift is the single most important way to make the university available to students for years to come. As the endowments grow, Daystar can expand its ability to challenge and nourish lives. When you help with a deferred gift, you take a very personal stake in the kind of education that builds Christian character as it creates an environment of academic excellence.
PLANNED GIVING
Through planned gifts you can support Daystar University while improving your financial security. In fact, just one planned gift can return an immediate tax deduction to you, plus lifetime income for you and a loved one, plus long-term financial support to Daystar.
We're here to help you get started with your stock donations, endowments, and planned giving!
