Donate to the Bible Bee

The National Bible Bee is a ministry of The Shelby Kennedy Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, and we are supported by donors who share our vision of strengthening families and their children with the truth of God's Word. As the Lord provides, we deeply appreciate your financial participation in this ministry.

Registration Match

If your family was blessed by the Bible Bee branded Bibles, the Sword Studies, the Bible Memory Cards, the T-shirts, the E-mail Encouragers and the many other resources that were provided to you as part of your enrollment, please consider making a donation equal to your family's initial enrollment fee. Your donation will help us to spread the vision and reach more families across the nation in 2011.



"Build the Bee":

Local Hosts are the "backbone" of the Bible Bee. The test-scoring equipment for each host, which is estimated to last for five years, costs $500, so $250,000 is needed to add 500 hosts for the 2011 Competition. Will you help us "Build the Bee" by funding the addition of one or more hosts?

YES! I'll help by funding one Local Host scoring machine! Here's my donation of $500.

YES! I'll help by funding five Local Host scoring machines! Here's my donation of $2,500.

YES! I'll help by funding ten Local Host scoring machines! Here's my donation of $5,000.

"Friends" at various levels of giving are rewarded with special discounted offers from the Bible Bee E-Store, access to Advisory Board functions, special "insider" tours at the National Competition, free National Competition Finals tickets, and other benefits (not all these rewards are given to every level).
