While in New York, Wu met with Ginling’s Board of Founders, who were very pleased with her work and the success of the college. Because of this, they promised Wu $300,000 in the college’s endowment fund to support of the Ginling. By today's standards, $300,000 in 1936 would be worth around $5,373,906. Wu was ecstatic with this investment, stating she had “renewed courage to the task of training women of ability, of character, and with a Christian conception of service.” This exemplifies Wu’s participating in the Christian internationalist movement. Just as Protestant-American missionaries fundraise, Wu too went to her superiors for increased financial support to do Christian work. With this financial support, Wu was energized to continue to work as president of a Christian college, because, as she described, these Christian workers were “in great demand” in China.
In other words, Wu acted as a missionary by traveling abroad to fundraise for her Christian work, Ginling College.
