How Every Community Fund Flows
The 50–40–10 Allocation
Three buckets, working together — immediate impact, lasting wealth, and multiplication.
40%
Long-Term Growth
Lasting community wealth
Retained and invested locally, growing at ~6% annually. Compounds over time, building permanent community capacity.
10%
Multiplication
Seeding new communities
Reinvested into the Wellspring Development Fund — seeding new communities and expanding the network.
Inside the 10% Reinvestment
Of every dollar reinvested into the Development Fund: 63% builds new Community Wellspring Funds + reserves; 37% covers CTW operations (leadership identification, governance, infrastructure).
The Matching Mechanism
How catalytic resources follows local leadership
Fifty thousand dollars of each community's one-hundred-thousand-dollar catalytic commitment flows directly into the local Community Wellspring Fund as soon as fifty thousand dollars of recurring gifts from local business leaders — tied to revenue or profit — has been given within the community. Until that local leadership commitment has been realized through actual consecrated giving, the matching capital is not released.
The Development Fund is not a venture investor placing speculative bets on potential communities. It is a partner that joins what local Spirit-led leaders have already begun.
Operating Principles
How the Storehouse grows.
Leadership-Paced Growth
Acts 6:3
We grow only as fast as we identify trusted, Spirit-led leaders. When leaders align, provision follows.
Local Leadership First
Catalytic Matching
The Development Fund matches local business leaders' recurring gifts tied to revenue or profit. Local leaders go first; catalytic resources follows.
Active Stewardship
90% Stays Local
90% of every community fund stays local. Distribution decisions are made locally to maximize real impact.
By Year 3, the network funds itself.
From a single founding gift to a self-sustaining engine of community transformation.
