Congregations open up their buildings to serve children, the hungry, the homeless and others in need. Sacred places stabilize neighborhoods, strengthen commercial districts and significantly add to the economic health of our communities. All of this is endangered, however, when congregations can no longer afford to maintain these aging buildings. Partners has developed a family of highly-acclaimed resources to help congregations connect better to their communities, raise capital funds in new ways and preserve their historic building for future generations. We are the nation's only non-sectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated the sound stewardship and active community use of America's older religious properties.

New Dollars/New Partners Training Program

51 Texas congregations have now participated in the New Dollars/New Partners program and $157,000 in planning and capital grants have been awarded!

New Dollars is an innovative, one-of-a-kind program that trains representatives from community-serving congregations to strengthen their leadership, focus, vision and capacity.  By capitalizing on their use of resources, congregations learn how to maximize their financial assets and physical facilities to best serve their neighborhoods and the broader community.  Partners has been retained to conduct New Dollars trainings throughout the U.S., reaching more than 650 congregations.
