Campaign Roadmap
Join Us in the Leap
LEAP200 is a leap of faith into the future of ICN. Your support will help us continue as a community of love, presence, and transformation.
Why Now
We’re in a historical moment calling for peacemakers and healers. ICN is blessed with an “infrastructure of people” committed to this mission. To support everyone—from Luke Healy and Gee Baynosa to every WeCreator and WeSpace participant—we need capacity that a third staff member will provide.
Our Dual Calling
Grow as an inspiring community and a healthy organization.
The Need
Hire a third staff member to support, coordinate, catalyze, and enhance our capacity across programs and people.
The Goal
Increase the budget to $200,000 by the end of 2026 to fund this role.
How a Third Staff Member Will Help
Our WeCreating vision depends on a well-supported, equipped, and encouraged people-based infrastructure.
Program Support
Since 2018, nearly a hundred WeSpace groups have been started and supported, alongside Sunday Gathering, Thursday WeGrow, Friday WeEvolve, and daily meditations.
Organizational Circles
WeCreators helped form Circles for outreach/communications, finance, community care, board leadership, and more.
Future Growth
More support for current WeCreators and nurture for those emerging—expanding capacity as more people take up this sacred calling.
How We’ll Reach LEAP200
The Story: How We Arrived Here
Finance Circle (2023)
Board and Luke initiated the Finance Circle; the need for more staff was already clear, especially administratively.
Growing Tuesday (2023)
$15,000 raised—made hiring Gee possible for 12 months. Her role is now part of the ongoing operating budget.
Transition & Legacy (2024)
Paul’s illness and passing was a deep loss. He envisioned the Paul Smith Legacy Fund to help ICN thrive beyond his life.
Board Renewal
Board & Finance Circle refreshed: Gregor Dellemann (Treasurer), Robert Martin (Presider), with Christy Thrasher, Carol Barton, and Kent Hoffman joining leadership.
Growing Tuesday (2024)
$25,000 goal focused on organizational development—planning toward a third employee.
Analysis & Catalyst (2025)
Treasurer analysis showed we’re closer to hiring than expected; a significant donor gift provides match funds for LEAP200.
LEAP200 launches in September 2025 and continues into 2026 to raise $200,000 and hire a new team member—so ICN can grow with the Spirit’s leading.
