The Hume Fund
Clear the Way for the Gospel to Be Heard!
Unrestricted, by design. The Hume Fund covers critical repairs and upkeep that keep a kid’s week distraction-free, so that when they’re sitting in chapel, nothing stands between them and the gospel.

What the Hume Fund pays for
The Gift That Removes Distractions
A student sits down in chapel, and the main thing on their mind is what God is revealing to them. Not a cold room, not a broken shower, not a meal that never came.
That is what the Hume Fund makes possible. New chapel chairs and carpet at Ponderosa. Roof replacements over the dorms. Bathroom remodels at Wagon Train and Wildwood. Ovens that keep thousands of meals coming, in every season. Hume runs year-round, with youth groups in summer and winter and schools every spring and fall, and the Hume Fund keeps it all working so guests can reflect on the teaching and what matters most.
