Partners for Sacred Places
Partnering with Congregations and
Communities for 35 Years
Communities for 35 Years
Partners for Sacred Places brings people together to find creative ways to maintain and make the most of America’s older and historic houses of worship.
We know that sacred places have enormous value as homes for religious life, as community centers that provide services for children, seniors, and other vulnerable populations, and as meeting places, performance venues, and sources of beauty and inspiration that benefit people of all faiths.
A leader in the nonprofit field for over 30 years, Partners provides research, training, grants — such as the National Fund for Sacred Places and Arts in Sacred Places — , and one-on-one coaching and support to give congregations and civic leaders the tools they need to keep sacred places at the heart of their communities.

Partners for Sacred Places’ training was incredible. It was really the most impactful fundraising training I’ve had since ordination in 2004… 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.
The value of working with you is not primarily the money. Sure, it is important; but, the more important value is your insights and your imprimatur that our project is valuable.
Partners has taught me so much and I am ever grateful for your support.
The primary benefits were spiritual and communal… 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.
