Support Our Program
Join us in shaping tomorrow's leaders. Make your gift today.
The Intellectual Virtues Program at JBU’s Center for Faith and Flourishing was established through a generous three-year founding grant by the John Templeton Foundation. Our goal is to raise $300,000+ during these next three years to expand and sustain program operations, create student and faculty scholarships, and further support the work of translating virtues research into practice. Our 10-year vision is to have the program be a center of excellence for Christian scholarship, teaching, and practice that will positively impact student intellectual formation and influence 50+ universities in the CCCU and beyond.
