Partners for Sacred Places’ training was incredible. It was really the most impactful fundraising training I’ve had since ordination in 2004. It really helped me rethink how we tell the story… It helped me understand that the ask needed to be donor and relationship focused… I think that’s why we have been so successful.
The timing of [the site] visit was perfect. Really, Partners for Sacred Places helped us figure out the right questions to ask… Definitely that was a turning point for all of us.
If I had been here all alone, I would’ve been overwhelmed but Partners for Sacred Places was a net for me, someone with expertise

The primary benefits were spiritual and communal. It had a real impact on the congregation. It’s been growing for the past year and a half, and this very much continued through this time. We saw a marked increase in our regular giving and our monthly giving. It also gave us an opportunity to talk about why the church matters.
Partners for Sacred Places is the only nonsectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to sound stewardship and active community use of older sacred places across America.
We provide capital campaign training and fundraising strategies, along with technical assistance, and grants to congregations and other local organizations across the United States via our National Fund program.
We have many exciting programs ranging from Arts in Sacred Places to Playing and Preserving. We also have customized regional programs where we provide congregational trainings, consulting, and convenings.
