What Christian Vocation Project Inc does
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to teach people the practice of spiritual discernment through prayerful listening in supportive communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Conducted one overnight four-day in-person program convening at a retreat center in ohio, we held approximately 8 weekly in-person discernment workshop sessions at a church in virginia, held a one-day in person workshop at the episcopal diocese of maryland, and held an online discernment session for a clergy inquirer. These programs introduced listening discernment to participants in maryland, ohio, pennsylvania, texas, and virginia, and we encouraged them to "listen" for god's call in everyday life, or to envision their direction in the future. Listening hearts also sent trustee secretary barbara cates to the annual diocese of maryland episcopal convention in 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $287k to $319k (+11%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
87% of CHRISTIAN VOCATION PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $10 → $25.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CHRISTIAN VOCATION PROJECT INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of CHRISTIAN VOCATION PROJECT INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $71 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
