We Exist To Serve Those Who Serve.

Pour Out Project partners with 22 nonprofits each month, walking alongside them to strengthen their organizations and expand their impact.

Each monthly meeting costs $500, with $100 contributed by the nonprofit itself and $400 covered by our donor base. This shared investment allows us to sustainably equip nonprofits while multiplying the reach of their mission.
