Partnership Rooted in Stewardship
1322 Foundation invites churches, individuals, and aligned partners to support its work through thoughtful, long-term partnership. Our approach to support reflects the same principles that guide our mission: stewardship, accountability, and a commitment to outcomes that endure.
We do not pursue transactional fundraising. We cultivate relationships with partners who share our conviction that leadership formation and community health require patience, discipline, and trust.
How Partnership Works
A Long-Term View
Support of the Foundation’s work is structured to prioritize:
-
Stability over volatility
-
Formation over programming volume
-
Institutional health over short-term metrics
Partners are invited into a shared commitment to strengthening leaders and institutions over time.
Partner as a Church
Church partnerships are grounded in shared mission and mutual trust. Churches partner with 1322 Foundation to support leadership formation, pastoral care, and community development initiatives aligned with their values and global engagement priorities.
Church partnerships may include:
-
Designated support for specific focus areas
-
Long-term partnership commitments
-
Collaborative leadership development initiatives
Partner as an Individual
Individual partners support the Foundation’s work through disciplined, intentional giving. We welcome partners who view generosity as stewardship and who value clarity, governance, and long-term impact.
Individual partnership is well-suited for those seeking:
-
Alignment with leadership-focused initiatives
-
Confidence in financial oversight and governance
-
Engagement beyond transactional giving
Strategic Partnerships
From time to time, the Foundation engages in strategic partnerships with organizations and individuals whose expertise or resources advance the mission. These partnerships are evaluated carefully to ensure alignment, integrity, and compliance with applicable nonprofit standards.
Use of Contributions
All contributions are used in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable mission, including:
-
Leadership formation initiatives
-
Pastoral care and coaching support
-
Community development partnerships
-
Administrative and governance functions necessary to steward the Foundation responsibly
Funds are deployed in accordance with donor intent, legal requirements, and Board oversight.
What We Do Not Do
For clarity and integrity, it is important to state what the Foundation does not do:
-
We do not engage in emergency or crisis-driven fundraising
-
We do not promise specific outcomes tied to individual gifts
-
We do not operate programs directly
-
We do not use emotionally manipulative appeals
Our work is built for durability, not immediacy.
