Mission

Ministering both nationally and locally, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA establishes and advances witnessing communities of students and faculty on U.S. college campuses. We minister to students and faculty through small group Bible studies, large gatherings on campus, leadership training, thoughtful discipleship, service opportunities, and life-changing conferences and events. We focus on the college campus as our mission field because we believe today's universities shapes tomorrow's leaders. Our vision is to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed, and world changers developed.

Notes from the nonprofit

In 2018-2019, InterVarsity had 1,121 chapters on 772 campuses. Many campuses have more than one chapter, which may include separate outreaches to international students, nursing students, sororities and fraternities, athletes, artists, and ethnic minority groups, as well as faculty and career-specific graduate student chapters. During the 2018-2019 school year, 34,513 core students and faculty were actively involved in InterVarsity. Of that number, approximately 60% were women and 40% men.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

College campuses are in desperate need of the real hope that Jesus offers—now more than ever. Hundreds of campuses have no current Christian ministry--many are in underserved geographies (particularly rural contexts) or primarily made up of underserved people groups (like Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and more), or community colleges. We want every student and faculty member to be one person away from hearing about Jesus, regardless of campus context. Whether in-person or virtually, InterVarsity is working to start new ministries so that students and faculty continue to develop as disciples of Jesus in Christian community and non-Christians have opportunities to hear the Gospel.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The goals in our current 5-year plan (2018-2023) include: Starting new ministries to reach 1,000 campuses, partnering with more volunteers, churches, and organizations, and support a thriving staff team. Our over-arching goal is to reach the 20 million college students with the Gospel. Therefore, we seek to reach out to more students and faculty on more campuses with the Gospel, inviting them to become followers of Jesus and people who can help reveal God's kingdom on campus and in the world.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

InterVarsity establishes and advances witnessing communities on college and university campuses that follow Jesus as Savior and Lord: contributing towards growth in love for God, God's Word, God's people of every ethnicity and culture, and God's purposes in the world.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

InterVarsity is working to reach every corner of every campus with 1,049 chapters on 691 campuses (at the end of our 2021-2022 fiscal year). InterVarsity chapters minister to students and faculty through small group Bible studies, large group gatherings, leadership training, thoughtful discipleship, and life-changing mission trips.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

After several several difficult years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, InterVarsity is encouraged by the signs of progress we are once again seeing in our campus ministry. Chapter planting and evangelism are essential components of InterVarsity's ministry. Overall participation from core students and faculty (those that participate in at least 50% of ministry activities) was up 6% during the last academic year (2021-2022) We saw 65% more new new believers last year--1,557 women and men decided to follow Jesus because of InterVarsity communities. A recent survey showed 87% of InterVarsity students and alumni read the Bible at least weekly, compared to 25% of non-InterVarsity Millennials. We will continue to seek even more growth in the years ahead. With the signs of revival breaking out across the country, our 2030 Calling urges us to keep moving ahead and continue reaching out to students and faculty on all U.S. campuses by the year 2030.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
