Churches Partnering with a Fund

Partnering with Churches

Churches solving problems

Mobilize your church for greater missional impact.

Extend your church’s reach. Steward generosity with confidence. Move more people from awareness to action.

Your church has people who want to make a difference and resources you want to steward faithfully. The challenge is turning that generosity into clear, measurable impact your people can see and join.

That takes the right partners, trusted vetting, meaningful stories and clear pathways for engagement.

Solving the World’s Greatest Problems helps make that possible. We identify and vet best-in-class ministries, align resources around meaningful problems, and equip your church with the stories, tools and measurable outcomes that move your people to act.

You lead and disciple your people. We provide the relationships, tools and infrastructure that extend your reach and help the Body of Christ accomplish more together.

Two Ways to Participate

Two ways your church can participate

01

Adopt a global problem

What problem has God uniquely placed on your church’s heart?

Invite your church to rally around a problem that matters deeply to your people and reflects the mission God has placed before you.

That could mean directing a portion of your missions or generosity budget toward the issue, creating a special generosity initiative, or inviting your congregation to learn, pray, give and engage together.

Choose a problem your church feels called to address, and join other churches, businesses, families and foundations working toward measurable progress.

02

Build a local coalition

What if your city’s churches, businesses, families and leaders worked together around a shared problem?

A growing network of local funds brings leaders from 10+ churches and organizations in a community together around shared problems and proven playbooks.

Instead of ten churches trying ten different approaches, they learn together, pool resources and pursue measurable outcomes for their city. We provide the structure, vetting, financial platform and impact reporting to support the collaboration.

One city. One problem. Working together for meaningful change.

Early Example

What this can look like

The Summit Church, led by JD Greear in North Carolina, offers an early picture of what this model can look like in practice.

When leaders in their community rallied around Solving Bible Translation, the church didn't have to create a new organization or become the expert in Bible translation. They joined a larger collaborative effort, bringing their congregation, generosity and influence into a problem the broader Body of Christ was already working together to solve.

The church didn't have to build another ministry. It could help accelerate a solution.

How It Works

Give together around a problem. Deploy resources with confidence. See the impact.

We bring churches and other givers together around shared problems, then provide the infrastructure to move resources toward vetted organizations doing meaningful work.

Step 1: Givers align around a problem

Churches, businesses, families, foundations and individual givers contribute to the same fund around a shared issue.

Step 2: We provide the financial platform

Giving and financial infrastructure so funds are received, administered and deployed with confidence. Every fund publishes an annual third-party audit and strategic review.

Step 3: An investment committee vets the work

Our leadership and independent experts evaluate organizations for strong stewardship and meaningful outcomes. Participating churches stay connected to the organizations being funded.

Step 4: Resources move to the work

Once approved, capital is deployed to vetted organizations doing the work on the ground.

Step 5: Impact comes back to your church

Stories, measurable outcomes and updates are shared back so your church can celebrate what God is doing and invite people deeper.

Transparency

Clear and transparent

Each fund on the platform allocates towards fund administration, diligence, reporting, storytelling and the infrastructure needed to operate the funds well. Details are disclosed so churches understand how resources are being stewarded.

Why Partner

Five reasons to partner

Your church brings the mission and the people. We bring the problems, the vetting and the infrastructure to go further together.

Customized to your church

Your church already has a mission. We help extend it. You choose the problem or fund your church feels called to support, and how deeply you want to engage.

Global access. Trusted vetting.

The best solutions can be hard to find and evaluate. We connect your church with vetted, high-impact ministries and trusted expertise — without your team building a diligence process from scratch.

Move upstream

Many giving opportunities address immediate needs. We help your church also support solutions aimed at root causes and pursue measurable progress over time.

Bring courses to your small groups

Optional courses and video stories help your people understand the problem, meet the people addressing it and see how they can participate — through the small-group rhythms you already have in place.

Inspire your church to action

Help your people see what their generosity is accomplishing through stories, outcomes and progress they can celebrate together — fresh ways to share what God is doing and move more people from awareness to action.
