Welcome home
You’re in the right place.
A New Gift Center is dedicated to Catholic philanthropy, formation, fundraising, and nonprofit excellence — four works gathered around a single, quiet center of prayer. Seek first the Kingdom, and the rest finds its rightful order.
“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
Matthew 6:33
At the heart is a spiritual retreat center. Around it, ordered in relation to it, are the four works of A New Gift. Hover a ring to explore — or read each below.
After Saint Hildegard von Bingen — all things ordered in concentric relation to the divine center.
Before strategy, before structure, before the gift — we begin with God. Everything else at A New Gift draws its order and its life from this quiet center.
This is the still point that the four works turn around. A place to seek first the Kingdom — so that your generosity, leadership, and service flow from a heart that has first received.
Saint Hildegard von Bingen saw creation as a set of concentric circles — everything held in right relation to God at the center, alive with viriditas, the greening power of the Spirit. A New Gift takes the same shape.
Philanthropy, management, fundraising, and the work we give away are not four separate businesses. They are four expressions of one center. Put first things first, and each finds its rightful place — and bears fruit.

Helping you understand and live your role in philanthropy — whether you are just beginning to build, or stewarding significant wealth.
This work is two-pronged, meeting you wherever you stand on the road.
At every stage — from day zero onward — we help you understand your role in philanthropy as your business grows, so giving is built into the venture from the start, not bolted on at the end.
However you give, we walk alongside you with trusted Catholic financial advisors and wealth partners — aligning your resources, values, and vocation.
Helping your nonprofit become worthy of trust — governed well, run well, and built to last.
Excellence in management is not paperwork. It is stewardship — the practical care that lets your mission serve with integrity and endure.
Training that treats raising funds not as a transaction, but as a sacred invitation — to the donor and the mission alike.
When fundraising is rightly ordered, it honors the dignity of the giver and the good of those served. We form you to do exactly that.
The fourth work gives the others away. Proceeds from the A New Gift store fund retreats, training, and consulting for small and emerging Catholic nonprofits who could not otherwise afford it — so the center serves the whole Body.
Today, A New Gift lives as a connected web: retreats, training, guidance, and partnerships woven together and offered online and at partner locations. The vision is a retreat campus with a chapel at its heart, where you come to be formed and sent.
We are building it in the right order: God first, then the people, then the place.
