Apply for Accompaniment

Who We Support

Our Fund supports organizations, ministries, programs and projects that:

1. Fit within our funding priority.

We will review applications for funding that clearly support and seek to respond to Jesus Christ’s commissioning call to “go make disciples of all nations.”

2. Align with our core values:

Faithfulness: We follow the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Holy Spirit Led: We are better when we prayerfully listen.
Mission-focused: We boldly commit to what we say we will do.
Open to Accompaniment: We walk back to back on the spiritual battlefield.
Collaboration for the Kingdom: We are better when we humbly work together.

3. Are led by gifted and fruitful leaders.

We are passionate about equipping humble and prayerful leaders with the capacity, drive and instincts to accomplish great things for the Kingdom.

4. Present a unique opportunity that is their core strength.

Applicants should speak to a compelling ‘why’ or purpose. The funding requests should seek to support an initiative that is focused on the organization’s core strength and one that addresses a need in the missional life of the Church. The initiative seeks to fill a gap that is not currently being filled by other similar initiatives and organizations.

5. Have a multiplication mindset.

Applications should present a concept that can be scaled to contribute towards our funding priority area and that is supported by a robust leadership pipeline.

6. Are fruitful.

Organizations and initiatives can clearly outline and quantify their fruitfulness to date as well as the potential future impact as a result of support from our Fund.

7. Financially responsible and measurable.

We support organizations who are accountable and responsible with their current financial resources. The organizations present a clear plan for management of funding allocations and know how to measure their success as well as how to set goals and priorities.

8. Have a collaboration mindset.

We seek to invest in organizations and projects who see their own work in the greater context of a missional Catholic Church. Organizations must demonstrate a willingness to intentionally partner with other ministries to ensure that the full scope of the missionary work in forming disciples can be addressed.

Who We Will Not Support

At this time, the Fund will not support the following types of applications:

For initiatives outside of our priority funding area.
To individuals for any purpose.
For political or lobbying activities.
For colleges, universities, or schools.
For capital building projects.
