Build the Mission. Package the Property. Secure the Capital Pathway.
Two identical foundational cohorts. Attend either one to be eligible for the September Implementation Workshop.
Each of the 90 initial fellows is positioned to receive $250,000 in Year 1 and a $50,000 annual grant thereafter. Those who want to go further can pursue bond offerings and additional capital-raise strategies targeting up to $20,000,000.
For pastors, nonprofit leaders, charity directors, foundation executives, community organizers, and mission-driven entrepreneurs.
One registration required. Attend either cohort to qualify for September.
Registration Closes August 21st for All Sessions
August Intensive and September Workshop both close August 21st. 90 seats per cohort.
The Funding Structure
The $250,000 Year 1 allocation and $50,000 annual grant are from a single private funding source, not assembled from grants, credits, or community financing. That is the foundation. Everything below it is additional capital participants can pursue on top.
Year 1
Private Allocation
Each of the 90 initial fellows is positioned to receive $250,000 in Year 1 from a single private funding source. The program teaches you how to package and submit correctly so you can receive it.
Year 2 and Beyond
Annual Private Grant
After Year 1, each participant is positioned to receive a $50,000 annual grant on an ongoing basis, also from the same private source. This is not a one-time event.
Optional: Above and Beyond
Additional Capital Strategies
Separately, participants who want to go further can pursue bond offerings, endowment fund submissions, Treasury-paid credits, NMTC financing, and additional capital-raise strategies on top of the private funding base.
This is not a grant writing class. The $250,000 Year 1 allocation and $50,000 annual grant are privately funded from a single source. They are the core of what the program delivers. The Intensive teaches you how to package and submit correctly so you can receive them.
Separately, participants who want to go further can pursue a full range of additional capital strategies: refundable Treasury-paid credits, community development financing, grants, and bond offerings on top of the private funding base.
These additional strategies are optional. They are not how the $250,000 or $50,000 are funded. They are how participants who want to scale beyond the base can target up to $20,000,000 depending on the size and scope of their project.

Above and Beyond the Private Funding
These strategies are separate from, and on top of, the $250,000 Year 1 allocation and $50,000 annual grant. They are not how the private funding is sourced. They are how participants who want to scale further can pursue additional capital.
Additional Strategy 1
For qualifying organizations and qualifying project components, certain federal refundable credit structures allow eligible dollars to flow back through the IRS and Treasury process. The project must be packaged correctly from the beginning: the property, the location, the budget, the infrastructure, the documentation, the filings, the professional review, and the deployment plan all have to work together.
Additional Strategy 2
NMTC-aligned financing, CDFIs, and bridge lenders. These sources are specifically designed for mission-driven projects in qualified community development areas, energy community zones, and low-income census tracts. Geography matters, and we help you map it.
Additional Strategy 3
Beyond the private funding at the core of the program, grants remain a valuable part of a complete capital strategy. We help you position your organization to access endowment funds, foundation grants, and philanthropic partners as part of a full package.
Additional Strategy 4 (Optional)
For participants who want to go further: bond offerings and additional capital-raise strategies can be layered on top of the base private funding for expansion, operating support, reserves, replication, endowment strategy, and long-term community deployment. This is optional. It is the difference between a base funding package and a full capital stack targeting up to $20,000,000.
The Process
Four steps from vision to a professionally organized, submitted funding package.
Every project begins with geography. We identify whether the project property is located in qualified community development areas, energy community zones, low-income census tracts, or other strategic locations that may strengthen the capital stack. A church campus, nonprofit center, community facility, school, food hub, housing support site, training center, or outreach headquarters can become a mapped, documentable project.
We organize the project budget into the categories funders and reviewers need to see: real estate, construction, renovation, expansion, community use space, eligible infrastructure, energy systems, vehicles, technology, professional services, operations, deployment, and reserves. This allows almost every type of mission initiative to become flexible and packageable.
Once the project is mapped and costs are properly allocated, the package can be coordinated for a 100 percent project capital pathway using refundable Treasury-paid credits, NMTC-aligned financing, bridge lenders, CDFIs, philanthropic partners, grant support, and other capital sources.
In September, participants build and submit their complete funding package. The base private funding delivers $250,000 in Year 1 and a $50,000 annual grant ongoing. Participants who want to go further can also structure church bond offerings and execute capital-raise strategies with the documentation, investor communications, and offering materials developed during the workshop.
What Can Be Packaged
The key is not forcing every organization into one model. The key is building the right package around the actual mission.
Start Building Your PackageEducational and strategic packaging program only. Funding, credits, financing, grants, bonds, approvals, and tax treatment depend on eligibility, documentation, professional review, applicable law, and final underwriting.
Each Participant Receives $250,000 in Year 1 and a $50,000 Annual Grant Thereafter. Optional Bond Offerings and Capital-Raise Up to $20,000,000.
September is where participants build their complete funding package in coordination with volunteer professionals and community organizations, and then put it to work. Submissions go out to existing endowment funds, church bond offerings are structured, and capital-raise strategies are executed with the documentation, investor communications, and offering materials developed during the workshop.

Doing
Active packaging and submission to endowment funds, church bond offerings, and capital-raise vehicles, built in coordination with volunteer professionals and community organizations.
Graduates of either the July or August Intensive will receive the exclusive opportunity to participate in the advanced September Implementation Workshop reserved solely for attendees of a foundational cohort. Because of the highly interactive nature of the September workshop and the individualized attention provided, enrollment is limited to 90 initial fellows.
Participants will build their complete funding package in coordination with volunteer professionals and community organizations, and then submit it. Submissions go out to existing endowment funds, church bond offerings are structured, and capital-raise strategies are executed with organizational documentation, investor communications, and offering materials developed throughout the workshop.
This workshop is designed for leaders who are ready to move from vision to execution. Those who attend the July or August Intensive will receive first priority consideration for September enrollment.
A Powerful Networking Event
You will be in the same room and on the same Zoom as other leaders, pastors, nonprofit executives, foundation directors, community organizers, and entrepreneurs who are each raising hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to advance their missions. The relationships and introductions formed during this series are as transformational as the curriculum itself. You will be introduced to professionals who specialize in mission-driven capital formation and organizational development.
The Outcome
$250,000 in Year 1. $50,000 Every Year After.
Each participant builds and submits their funding package during September. The base structure delivers $250,000 in Year 1 and a $50,000 annual grant ongoing. Participants who want to go further can pursue bond offerings and additional capital-raise strategies on top of the base package.

September Schedule
Hear It Directly
Watch this overview to fully grasp the scope, the strategy, and the extraordinary opportunity available to every leader who participates in the July or August Intensive and the September Implementation Workshop series.
This is not a seminar. This is a transformation: from vision to execution, from concept to capital, from knowing to doing. Whether you lead a church, a nonprofit, a foundation, a charity, or a community initiative, the leaders who attend will leave equipped to fund the mission they were called to build.
About This Program
What if leaders fully understood both the spiritual authority entrusted to them through Christ and the practical tools available to expand their impact in the world?
This exclusive intensive combines a powerful biblical study of identity, authority, and dominion in Christ with an advanced exploration of stewardship, organizational architecture, and mission-focused capital formation, applicable to churches, nonprofits, charities, foundations, community organizations, and mission-driven enterprises of every kind.
Far too many leaders possess vision without structure, passion without strategy, and purpose without the resources necessary to fully execute the mission they have been entrusted to fulfill. This program is designed to bridge that gap, regardless of the type of organization you lead.
Participants should expect a highly interactive experience featuring real-world examples, sophisticated strategic concepts, and extensive opportunities for questions and discussion.
