Strategic grants Big funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. ($1M) indicates strong donor alignment with innovative parish ministry. Leverage this momentum to position CLI for expanded grants, partner-funded programs, and sponsorships for Next Generation Parish initiatives that align with foundation priorities.

Parish leadership focus Mission revolves around pastoral leadership formation and parish vitality. Opportunities exist to upsell scale training programs, coaching, and LMS-based modules to diocese-wide networks, leveraging Good Leaders, Good Shepherds and Next Generation Parish curricula.

Growth infrastructure Recent launch of internship program and inaugural forums suggest building a scalable ecosystem of leaders and practitioners. Sales potential in software-enabled training, credentialing, and employer-like partnerships with dioceses and seminaries that require ongoing development platforms.

Technology footprint Utilizes LMS (Tovuti), CRM/communication tools (Mailchimp, Simply.Coach), collaboration (Atlassian Jira). Potential upsell to integrated church operations suite, data analytics for program impact, and expanded e-learning customization for local parishes.

Public engagement Active event presence and thought leadership through forums and forums-like gatherings create opportunities for sponsored events, executive coaching packages for church leadership teams, and continued content partnerships that broaden CLI’s outreach to bishops and diocesan leadership.
