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.
Our work flows from our love for Jesus and our desire to live out our faith by serving others and building unity across the Body of Christ.
