HOPE 2027 

We ask that you prayerfully spend time reflecting on equity and financial assistance.​​​

​

While the LC strives to offer some financial assistance to those who express a need, the HOPE 2027 program is not free. The costs to put on a program like HOPE 2027 are significant and real. 

​

Your registration fee, along with donations and grants, supports our dedicated team's work to create and manage the many aspects of HOPE 2027 and sustains our operations. Without registration fees, our team cannot create and manage HOPE 2027.​​​

​

Additionally, we ask all participants to reflect on what they can equitably contribute, recognizing that this shared responsibility allows us to continue providing these opportunities for present and future generations of sisters.

We ask that you assess what you can contribute.

​

Assess if there are other resources, or a combination of resources, that can assist with the costs of HOPE 2027. For example, can you combine a ministry budget and congregational support or do you or those in your community have airline miles you could use for airfare?

​

We ask that you speak with your congregational leadership to determine financial support before registering for HOPE 2027.

​

We appreciate when someone can provide a partial contribution. This helps us extend assistance to others as well.

Please reflect on the following questions.

​

ONE

What potential sources of financial support have you identified? Are there any additional sources?

​

TWO

Did you have conversations with your congregational leadership and/or ministry? What is the result of these conversations?

​

THREE

What costs are you requesting assistance for? Do you need assistance with registration fees, hotel fees, or travel fees? Clearly list in what areas you need financial assistance for HOPE 2027 OR please indicate how much money you are able to contribute. We encourage you to pay for as much of the expenses as you can so we can widen the opportunity for participation for more sisters. 

To request financial assistance please send an email outlining the concrete steps that you took regarding points 1 - 3 (Reflect on Equity and Shared Responsibility; Assess Resources and Determine Contribution; and Answers to the 3 Questions).

 

Send this outline to Romina Sapinoso, SC at rsapinoso@leadership-collaborative.org.

​

Depending on the demand for financial assistance, we will respond to your request and inform you of potential assistance.

​

​Deadline to request financial assistance is October 3, 2026.
