Libraries’ unique opportunity to triple gifts to the Keston Center for Religion, Politics & Society at Baylor University through May 11

May 4, 2026
Students from Dr. Lopez's class visiting the Keston Center, Fall 2025.

Now through May 11, the Keston Center for Religion, Politics & Society endowment will enjoy triple benefits thanks to two generous alumni. All donations made to the Keston Center will be matched up to $10,000 by one donor and up to $100,000 by the other, allowing supporters to triple or at least double their gifts.

All funds will be placed in the Keston Endowed Excellence Fund that allows the Center to:

  • Preserve, publicize, and gather archives and stories of persecuted believers and the ongoing cost of religious freedom;
  • Promote innovative research into persecution, totalitarianism, and the fight for religious freedom and defense of human dignity;
  • Provide a scholarly home for Baylor students, faculty, and visiting researchers from across the globe;
  • Present panels, lectures, and public conversation linked to faith, politics, and society; and
  • Prepare future leaders and scholars through Baylor faculty teaching fellowships and student summer internships.

“When these two donors approached me, I was overwhelmed,” explains Keston Center Director Kathy Hillman. “But they understand the importance of Keston’s mission to be a voice for voiceless persecuted believers by collecting, preserving, and sharing their stories past, present, and future.”
