Coming soon: iSPi!
iSPi (“isp-ee”) is a new resource Partners is developing to
help sacred places connect to local nonprofits, artists, and
entrepreneurs. This online hub, funded by the MacArthur
Foundation, will launch in November 2014 and is designed
to help congregations find community partners.
Organizations and artists that would like to partner with
sacred places will complete profiles outlining their space
needs, mission, work style, organizational capacity, and
level of interest in working with houses of worship. With
information from both parties, potential matches will be
identified not only based on compatibility of space needs
and square footage, but also on a marriage of mission, vision,
and values.
Stay tuned for additional information on the launch event,
which will take place in Chicago, along with how your
sacred place, arts organization, or social service group can
participate.
