Disaster Response Expansion The Church of the Brethren is actively expanding Brethren Disaster Ministries with new rebuilding sites and partnerships (e.g., North Carolina project, ROOTS Community Land Trust housing initiative) signaling increased demand for disaster relief coordination, project management, volunteer engagement platforms, and donor communications infrastructure.

Fundraising & Grants Recent grant awards and large-scale funding (480k+ in grants, 500k grant to Brethren Disaster Ministries) indicate strong fundraising activity and opportunities to offer donor CRM enhancements, grant management tools, reporting dashboards, and grant-focused communications services.

Engagement Leadership Hiring a new interim executive director of Engagement and Communications and recognized communications awards suggest a strategic emphasis on audience engagement, storytelling, and digital outreach, creating opportunities for website optimization, email marketing, CMS upgrades, and analytics solutions.

Technology Stack Fit Existing tech stack includes iCIMS, AWS, WordPress, Mailchimp, Mailgun, Microsoft 365, Vimeo, and Piwik PRO Core, highlighting a need for integrated nonprofit-compliant solutions in CRM, marketing automation, cloud services, streaming, and analytics to unify operations.

Regional & Global Presence With nearly 800 congregations across the U.S. and international sister churches, there is potential for scalable digital collaboration tools, translation/localization capabilities, and secure collaboration platforms to support multi-site coordination and community programs.
