Comprehensive Campaign

Invest in the next 50 years

Established in 1967, the Collegeville Institute holds a critical place within the rapidly changing landscape of religion in America and around the world. Now, more than ever, the Collegeville Institute’s commitment to religious diversity, understanding, cooperation, innovation, and cultivation of strong religious leadership is indispensable.

Consequently, in 2020 the Collegeville Institute’s Board of Directors launched a $2 million Bricks, Glass & More comprehensive campaign that 1) preserves and renovates our facilities and make them accessible, 2) expands our innovative multi-religious work, and 3) supports international Resident Scholars.

Now in June 2023, the Board of Directors announces the launch of Phase III of its renovation work within the comprehensive campaign. From August 2023 through the spring of 2024, the Collegeville Institute’s residential apartments and Butler Center will be undergoing renovations designed to repair and upgrade the apartments and ensure that one apartment and the Butler Center are in compliance with standards in the Americans with Disabilities Act. This will make our programs and facilities accessible and welcoming to all.

During this time, the Collegeville Institute won’t be able to offer on-site programming, but it will continue to offer robust off-site and virtual opportunities. Please visit collegevilleinstitute.org for information about upcoming programs.

We invite you to join us in this endeavor. Learn more about the campaign and initiatives by following the links below.
