The In Trust Center started working with the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in January 2022 as a co-coordinator of the intiative. The work will continue over the life of the initiative. The three-phase initiative is designed to help theological schools prioritize and respond to their most pressing challenges as they work to prepare pastoral leaders for Christian congregations.
ATS and the In Trust Center will partner to provide resources and research, and they will convene the grantees to provide a learning community to help encourage innovation and collaboration.
The first In Trust Center coordination grant came as part of the second phase of the initiative during which the Lilly Endowment announced additional grants to 105 ATS-accredited schools. The grants range from $500,000 to $1 million, and the schools that received them reflect the broad spectrum of Christian traditions in North America. The third and final phase of the initiative, which provided between $5 million and $8 million, will allow schools to create innovative partnerships. Both phases of funding were completed in 2022.
