Funding Sacred Compass Training

For Congregations

Funding a pastor's renewal

If your pastor is considering Sacred Compass Training, thank you — investing in a pastor's restoration is one of the most faithful things a congregation can do.

This program qualifies as renewal-leave programming and is regularly funded through sabbatical budgets and Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Grants, which award congregations up to $60,000 (applications open each November; congregation and pastor apply jointly).

I provide a complete sample grant packet: program description written for reviewers, sample proposal language, budget line items, a confirmation letter, W-9, and invoicing for congregational accounting.

For Institutions

Professional development that sustains

If you're considering Sacred Compass Training for someone on your team, thank you — investing in a leader's capacity is one of the smartest things an organization can do. Turnover, burnout, and a quietly declining culture all cost more than this program does.

This qualifies as professional development and is regularly funded through existing PD budgets, leadership development funds, or board-approved investment in key staff. I provide documentation formatted for HR, finance, or your board: a program description, budget justification, and invoicing — ready for review.
