Progress: On A Mission

On A Mission, a campaign for students and resources, is the largest and most comprehensive fund-raising initiative in Concordia’s history. On A Mission is the implementation tool to help Concordia move forward from its strategic plan and to secure the financial freedom for Concordia University, Nebraska to fulfill its mission.

Goal to build resources

On A Mission will help transform Concordia and put into place the necessary resources to

• Expand the student body
• Enhance the quality and strength of the university’s academic experience
• Integrate academic content, the learning exchange experience, and continuously refine delivery methods

Benefits of On A Mission.

On A Mission will enable Concordia to implement its business plan and create tangible freedoms. It will continue to send forth graduates who will be a positive, Christian force in churches and communities throughout the world and in all professions – church work, teaching, business, medicine, music, science, art, communication and more. On A Mission will empower:

• The university’s continued fiscal strength
• An enhanced “Concordia experience”
• A unique brand of servant leadership in the marketplace
• A new generation of students to serve in the church and world.

Aims of On A Mission

Secure gifts and pledges for:

• Endowment -- A healthy endowment is a mainstay, and even survival, of every truly exceptional institution of higher learning today. The Foundation is committed to ensuring that the university's future is secure by growing the endowment for scholarships, faculty and staff support, facilities and technology, unrestricted purposes and program support.
• Annual funds for scholarships and operations-- The elimination of LCMS subsidy to the university demands that greater effort be made to underwrite current operations and student scholarships through the efficient management of tuition revenue and gift income.
• Capital construction -- Advanced planning for the Health, Human Performance and Athletic Center is under way. Concordia’s Board of Regents gave its approval to break ground on the HHPAC in 2007 as long as fundraising and financing are in place.
