Designated giving

Choose where the welcome goes

  • General Donation

    Keeps the work running: convenings, editorial work, and the daily life of the Institute.

  • Vocational Discernment Program

    Sustains the discernment work — gatherings, mentoring, and the resources that carry a vocation question.

  • Chalk and Pen

    Room, food, and conversation for scholars at the March 2027 gathering at The Hotel Hershey.

  • Artist & Scholar Fellowships

    Funds an artist's or scholar's place so cost never decides who is in the room.

“Where we create in community.”
