Redeemer Presbyterian Church

The Westside cohort is excited to kickstart this effort to pool together our funds and resources to create a gift, from all of us Gotham Class of 2025 current Fellows, Gotham Alumni, friends & family. 100% of proceeds raised here will go towards the Gotham Scholarship Fund to benefit next year's class and beyond.

We created this page because we want the gift to come from our community, not any individual. We hope to encourage, and be encouraged by, each other. We see this as an opportunity to express our gratitude for all the ways we have personally benefited from the Gotham program, and to show hospitality by celebrating & welcoming the next class in a tangible way. We also believe that giving is simply more fun when done together as a shared team activity!

Lastly, we acknowledge that we have precious little fit for a king, except our hearts responding with praise and gratitude to the One who formed us in His image and called us to join His family.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS:

Scholarships are awarded each year to select incoming Gotham fellows who have demonstrated a need for financial assistance. While amounts may vary year to year, based on historical averages:

MATCHING GRANTS:

We may from time to time have donor(s) who have pledged matching grants, so that the impact of your gift can be multiplied!

On 2/21/25, we received a pledge to match all funds raised by this page at a dollar-for-dollar rate, up to $1,000 in the aggregate. [UPDATE as of 2/26/25: This grant has been fully disbursed.]

(If you are interested in providing matching funds, please contact the organizer.)
