The Joy of Giving
Responding to the generosity of God. Participating in a relational economy of gifts
Iona House is a story of God’s faithfulness and generosity. As an organization, we operate entirely by means of gifts within an operational model based on generosity. This vision of generosity animates everything about our mission. It also shapes a culture of joy that permeates Iona House.
If you would like to partner with us, you can give a one-time gift (see below), set up a recurring gift as part of our ARBOR community, and/or contribute toward a key campus development projects. If you would like to know more about our needs, we are happy to set up a conversation with you.
Thank you for your partnership in this ministry!

Are you considering including Iona House in your estate planning? We would be happy to talk with you about ways in which your giving can make a long-term difference at Iona House - whether that is a building, an endowment for an aspect of our ministry (i.e. residency program, farm, etc.), or a particular campus feature you would like to see developed. Please reach out to Ryan (ryan@ionahouse.org) to discuss.
Iona House & Institute for Christoformity
To be clear, the Institute for Christoformity is the name of the nonprofit entity; Iona House is our “doing business as” (DBA) name. They are, however, the same organization governed by the same board, bylaws, etc. If you have a question about any of this please feel free to reach out to Ryan Jones (ryan@ionahouse.org).
