Overview

Mission

We design content and experiences for church leaders who love, or who want to love, the church. We do this by equipping them to facilitate important conversations that make room for tension and lead to transformation.

What it reported doing in 2024

We offer learning cohorts designed for leaders who are interested in pursuing wholehearted health. In these cohorts, we explore often-neglected areas of leadership: our mental health, our emotional health, the ways our fears and anxieties show up under stress, and other hinderances to our ability to be a non-anxious presence under pressure and criticism. Each cohort consists of 6-8 leaders who commit to meeting twice monthly for four months, to explore what emotional health looks like in a leader's life. Meetings take the form of a guided conversation with a strong emphasis on growing in vulnerability, increasing self-awareness, and creating a safe space for leaders to talk openly and learn from one another.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
