Partner
Where we would value your partnership.
Pilot communities
Support to launch STEP in a first cohort of parishes, campuses and community groups, with coordinators in place.
Implementing partners
Dioceses, faith networks, universities and civic groups that recruit communities and train coordinators.
Independent evaluation
Funding for an outside research partner to test whether accompaniment through STEP improves outcomes.
Introductions and counsel
Introductions to organizations that have already proven belonging and verified need at scale, and counsel on the implementing-partner model.
Technology partners
White-label the suite, or connect your own tools through the API.
Give
Communities start free because someone paid for it.
Presence+ is a program of True Presence, Inc., an Arizona 501(c)(3). Parishes, campuses and community groups are never charged for the companion tools; gifts and grants are what make that true. Every revenue stream except Mindspirit's practice-management subscriptions flows to the nonprofit, and every gift goes to formation, coordination, free access and research.
A first cohort
Launches STEP in one parish, campus or community group: the coordinator's formation, the first Companions' courses, and the measures from the first conversation.
A coordinator
Pays for the person who verifies a need within eight hours and matches it to the right helper, for a year, in a community that could not fund one.
Formation scholarships
Covers courses for helpers who cannot pay: deacons, campus ministers, listeners in rural parishes, people in recovery who now walk with the next one.
The evidence
Funds the independent evaluation that will say, either way, whether accompaniment through STEP improves outcomes.
True Presence, Inc. is recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3); gifts are deductible to the extent the law allows. We will send a written acknowledgment for every gift, and we will tell you plainly, each year, what it paid for and what we learned.
