Become an Institutional Partner
Become an Invested Faith Institutional Partner
Invested Faith invites churches and other institutions to become Institutional Partners, helping lay a robust groundwork for Invested Faith’s work.
Why partner with Invested Faith?
Invested Faith at its core is a fund created so churches and institutions at the end of their life-cycles can consider the hopeful and impactful action of placing some or all of their assets in the fund as a way of sending their witness forward in a spirit of abundance. These assets create a fund that grows and is regularly distributed to social entrepreneurs who are living out the gospel and changing the world in innovative ways outside the stained-glass walls of the church. We believe the work of God continues in the world, even as the institutions we’ve known and loved for so many years face the reality of ending a traditional institutional life. The witness of their communities, however, continue, honoring the past while funding the future.
Invested Faith is now seeking churches and institutions who are not at the end of their lives and who are looking for ways to welcome the new work of God in the world. These Institutional Partners are helping us build the fund while celebrating its work with the story of that partnership.
What does it mean to become an Invested Faith Institutional Partner?
A gift of $20,000 qualifies your institution as an Invested Faith Institutional Partner. $5000 of that amount goes to match a grant we’ve already made to an Invested Faith Fellow, doubling the impact of the original gift. The remaining $15,000 goes into the Invested Faith fund to build the fund and offer fellowships in perpetuity. We welcome the sponsorship of more than one Fellow, and we work with Institutional Partners to pair them with Fellows whose work specifically aligns with the organization’s missional priorities.
We tell the story of our partnership through our website and social media as a spark that leads the way for others to become involved in this innovative ministry.
Your institution’s partnership with Invested Faith will open the door for conversations with other churches and institutions and will pave the road toward building a robust and deeply impactful vehicle for funding emerging expressions of faith. Invested Faith has the powerful potential to change the way we imagine the Church in America. We welcome you to join us in scattering seeds of goodness, justice, and hope in our world so desperately in need of Good News.
