What The Abbey Inc does
Mission
The Abbey's primary purpose is creating programming to provide, rest, refreshment and soul care for Christian pastors and faith leaders through a combination of retreats, individual spiritual direction and personal prayer practices.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
1) The Abbey launched its 5th cohort of The Praxis, a 9-month spiritual formation experience for pastoral leaders along Colorado's front range. 24 leaders engaged in monthly retreats, individual & group spiritual direction, and daily prayer practices as they journeyed inward to deepen their life with God. As a metaphor for God's abundance, the Praxis is free for those accepted. The only cost is time.2) The Abbey launched Praxis alumni programming, beginning with an overnight retreat in September 2023 at the Franciscan Retreat Center in Colorado Springs, CO. The retreat was facilitated by South African author, pastor and spiritual director Trevor Hudson. In December, The Abbey hosted its first evening of Praxis Graces & Carols, giving Praxis alumni an opportunity to receive a quiet service as they led others through Advent. 3) The Abbey expanded seasonal retreats offerings during Lent in February 2024 with the adding of a Colorado Springs retreat location. This, in addition to retreats taking place in Golden and Ft.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $85k to $109k (+28%).
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.
100% of The Abbey Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $1k → $17k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 76% 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 The Abbey 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.
How concentrated its funding is
The Abbey Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
76% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund The Abbey Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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
76% of The Abbey 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. Of the $13k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $39k 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.
