The Africa University Fund is one of seven apportionments of The United Methodist Church. It is apportioned among the 63 annual conferences in the United States. As of October 31, 2008, the most recent financial data available, the Africa University Fund had received $1,484,189.  This represents 61.1 percent of our goal amount of $2,428,084 for 2008.  In 2007, the Africa University Fund received $2,259,941.  In 2006, $2,280,116 was remitted to the Africa University Fund. $2,272,569 was remitted in 2005.

The United Methodist Church is grateful to those annual conferences that faithfully remit their Africa University Fund apportionment at 100 percent. Educating leaders in Africa is a top priority and 30 annual conferences remitted at 100 percent to the Africa University in 2007. Those conferences are: Alaska Missionary, Baltimore-Washington, Central Pennsylvania, Central Texas, Desert Southwest, Dakotas, Detroit, East Ohio, Eastern Pennsylvania, Greater New Jersey, Illinois Great Rivers, Iowa, Kansas West, Kentucky, Louisiana, New England, New York, North Central New York, North Carolina, North Texas, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma, Oklahoma Indian Missionary, Peninsula Delaware, Red Bird Missionary, Rio Grande, West Michigan, West Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The Africa University Fund apportionment provides education to students all over Africa. Africa University is the only General Conference approved degree granting university in Africa. Your faithful support to the Africa University Fund helps form leaders.
