FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Unquestionably, Kanuga’s 2024 word of the year was ‘resilience.’ The first nine months of the year were some of the best we’ve seen together in recent memory.

Feedback from conference participants, camp families, and summer guests was overwhelmingly positive; support for the annual fund was trending higher than we’ve seen since 2020; and plans to overhaul our outdoor education programs were crystallizing.

2024 REVENUES, GAINS, AND OTHER SUPPORT

Then Helene came at the end of September. Initially, we thought Kanuga would be closed for months while we cleaned up extensive damage and downed trees.

But the Kanuga family rallied to provide philanthropic support and work crews to assist with tree removal, which enabled Kanuga to begin to reopen within only a few weeks.

That support made it possible for Kanuga to fully embrace our mission during a difficult time for our region by providing housing for responders, linemen, medical professionals, and families displaced by the storm.

The resilience demonstrated by the Kanuga family in response to the Helene tragedy has been inspiring and a stark reminder of the critical importance of all that Kanuga is and does.

Thank you for the many ways you help to make Kanuga the special place we love, and I look forward to seeing you back soon!

Nuevo Amanecer Gathering Reflections

If it’s not about love, it’s not about God. Because Watch the clip.

the Bible says, “God is Love.” Go out and love somebody in the name of Jesus!—Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, at the Nuevo Amanecer conference.

— A NOTE ABOUT THE FUTURE — Bobby Pearce, Board Chair Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil.

Because of my faith and integrity, the Lord and the blessed will sustain me while I am sick and will restore me to health. Blessed will be those who care for me in my time of need.

To those who share bread with me while I am weak, raise me up O Lord that I may repay them many times over.

These words inspired us as we faced enormous recent challenges, including continued recovery from the COVID pandemic and this year’s Hurricane Helene. But those who love Kanuga have never lost faith in the Lord and, because of that faith, have blessed Kanuga with a tremendous year.

Kanuga hosted more than 35,000 people in 2024 and has continued to provide a safe haven for personal growth, connection, and renewal for all people.

I am proud to serve as chairman of Kanuga’s board and to support the incredible Kanuga team. Michael Sullivan, our CEO, has endured as great a challenge as any company leader; he and the senior leadership team have succeeded despite facing very long odds. The Kanuga spirit of hopefulness, guidance, and reverence is alive and well under their daily stewardship.

But it is the support of the worldwide community of Kanuga friends reflected in this report that makes possible opportunities for us to find solace, rediscover our faith, and build lasting connections. The support of everyone, whether attendees or financial contributors, is the vital thread woven into the fabric of Kanuga’s mission.

So, it is with a humble heart, on behalf of all who love and need Kanuga, that we ask for each person’s support in 2025. Yes, we greatly need large contributions, but there is no such thing as a “small” one, as each dollar takes Kanuga another step forward.
