Underwriting Memberships in Partnership with Caffeinated Church
Caffeinated Church offers scaled underwriting based on 2/3rds of the cost of regular membership, but we are open to options for a different level of underwriting. Based on this 2/3rds model, here is the cost for your membership:
10 memberships, underwriting/partnership of $400
25 memberships, underwriting/partnership of $1,000
50 memberships, underwriting/partnership of $2,000
So there’s skin in the game for each individual in your diocese/synod/conference/presbytery who wants to be a member, we’d set up a page for $20/individual memberships that they pay. At the diocesan level, you promote the partnership and your ‘special discount deal’ of 2/3rds off the regular membership of $60/individual.
You would be listed as a partner to Caffeinated Church in providing relevant communications and administration workshops for the wider church.
As part of this partnership, you might be asked to help contribute personally once or twice a year by facilitating an online roundtable discussion, teaching a workshop, or joining a leadership meeting to brainstorm ways in which Caffeinated Church can engage, equip, and empower church communicators and administrators.
You’d promote upcoming workshops and opportunities in your church-wide communications; We currently offer 36 workshops per year!
Caffeinated Church is ‘owned’ by the Episcopal Church in Colorado in administration and financial coordination, under the direction of the Bishop of Colorado.
If you’d like to become a diocesan/synod/conference/presbytery partner and offer memberships to your churches, or if you’d like a different arrangement or level of underwriting that you provide to your churches, please contact Ashley@CaffeinatedChurch.org.

“Caffeinated Church has been and continues to be a valuable resource not only for our parish-level communications staff, but also for parish administrators and clergy. With a monthly offering of workshops, peer group meetings, and articles, Caffeinated Church responds to both seasonal, routine needs of the church as well as pressing singular needs. We have expanded our offering of Caffeinated Church as engagement with the platform has grown and continue to provide it to our local leadership as a diocesan benefit. We see Caffeinated Church as a wise investment in the continued professional networking and development of our parish leadership.”

“As a Diocesan Communicator, Caffeinated Church is a vital part of the ministry provided to communicators in The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. In partnership with Caffeinated Church, we are able to offer many trainings that simply wouldn't be possible. Diocesan Communicators wear many hats, and as a person responsible for resourcing many communicators Caffeinated Church allows me to focus my energy in all the right areas because I know key areas like a communications resource bank, best practices, and new and innovative trainings are covered.
To all Diocesan Communicators, I would encourage you to partner with Caffeinated Church. It gives you the ability to work smarter. In my years serving my diocese, I only receive incredible thanksgivings from our people for making this resource available at a discounted rate.”
– Canon Easton Davis, Canon for Communications & Digital Evangelism, The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta
