At the 7th Episcopal District Planning Meeting, Allen University received a significant financial boost with a $1 million check, presented under the leadership of Bishop James L. Davis. The funds included contributions from various divisions within the 7th Episcopal District, donations collected during the Annual Conferences, and a personal gift from the Davis family. For the 2023 fiscal year, Allen University reported an overall revenue of $26 million.
During the event, Allen University President Ernest McNealy expressed his gratitude for the support, stating, "I am deeply pleased to carry out the work we do here at this institution." The funding will be used to address both operational needs and student support, with 60 percent earmarked for operational expenses and the remaining 40 percent designated for scholarships, as agreed upon by district members.
This donation underscores the 7th Episcopal District's commitment to supporting Allen University's mission and future growth.
