ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Three tiers.
Five ways to engage.

Need one practical tool, ongoing help, or support across a network? Our three tiers—Listening + Engagement, the 12-Month Compact, and Strategic Partnership—offer five ways to work together using Care That Holds™. Each explains what you get, who it fits, and how long it runs, so you can choose what your team and budget can support.

MODEL 01 · PROJECT

Fixed-scope project

6–16 weeks · fixed fee · one artifact
WHAT IT IS

One clearly defined tool: a Listening Report, Care Map, Playbook, or Theory of Change—a simple picture of how your work leads to results.

BEST FOR

First-time partners and boards that want one useful piece of work before committing to more.

MODEL 02 · COMPACT

12-Month Compact

12 months · monthly retainer · five artifacts
WHAT IT IS

Our flagship. We build the practical tools with you, train your team, set up a dashboard to track progress, and provide quarterly coaching and an annual review.

BEST FOR

Churches and nonprofits ready to build care that keeps going beyond the launch.

MODEL 03 · NETWORK LICENSE

Network license + cohort

12–24 months · network license + per-congregation fee
WHAT IT IS

Your denomination or network gets permission to use Care That Holds™, adds its own branding to the playbooks, and guides a group of congregations through the steps together.

BEST FOR

Judicatories—regional church bodies—denominational offices, and ministry networks that need shared ways of offering good care.

MODEL 04 · EMBEDDED

Embedded fractional director

6–24 months · weekly engagement · senior hands-on time
WHAT IT IS

We join your ministry one day a week as a fractional director—a part-time senior leader on your team. We support staff, build practical tools, and help keep care consistent.

BEST FOR

Mid-sized organizations that need an experienced care leader but cannot yet hire one full-time.

MODEL 05 · GRANT CO-BUILD

Grant co-build

4–10 weeks · fixed fee + optional success component
WHAT IT IS

We work alongside your development team on the proposal: a logic model showing how activities lead to results, an outcomes frame naming the changes to watch for, a budget narrative explaining costs, and an evaluation plan for checking progress.

BEST FOR

Faith-based nonprofits applying for foundation, denominational, or federal grants distributed through another organization.

A WORD ON FIT

We take a small number of partners each year. If we are not the right firm, we will tell you on the first call — and we usually know someone who is.
