SUMMARY:2027 Incubate Partner Applications
DESCRIPTION:The National Benevolent Association is accepting Incubate Partner applications from Disciples health and social service organizations. Being in partnership with NBA involves a multi-year relationship that includes a specialized menu of resources and support for your young ministry/organization. \nApplications will be accepted from September 1st-November 1st\, 2026. (Note: this is a change from previous years generally\, in light of our learnings from the application/interview timeline earlier this year.)  \nInterested applicants are required to connect with NBA’s Social Entrepreneurship team prior to starting the application process; contact NBA Director of Social Entrepreneurship\, Rev. Darnell Fennell(opens in new tab)\, for more information. \nOur Partners receive up to four years of access to professional consultants\, opportunities for learning\, peer support\, and grant funding. In a spirit of mutuality\, Incubate Partners agree to share the story of their mission with the wider Disciples community and beyond. Together\, we expand the church’s understanding of and capacity for health and social service ministry as part of Christ’s work in the world. \nIn alignment with the NBA’s commitment to prioritize the work of reconciliation and anti-racism\, the Social Entrepreneurship Program is dedicated to supporting and uplifting social enterprises that are led by or serve historically marginalized\, under-represented\, and under-resourced people groups. In our efforts to dismantle white supremacy\, we are sensitive to Incubate Partner applications that are addressing systemic needs\, and place justice and equity at the center of their organization. \nApplication Form Previews\nIncubate Partner Application Form(opens in new tab) \nBoard Representative Supplemental Application Form(opens in new tab) \nWe are now accepting applications for Incubate Partners!
