About Partners:
Partners for Sacred Places is the only nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to the sound stewardship and active community use of America’s older and historic sacred places. Partners was founded in Philadelphia in 1989 by a coalition of leaders from religious, philanthropic and historic preservation communities. Sacred places play an essential role in Philadelphia’s cultural life, reflecting the social, cultural, and creative lives of their congregants and community, yet their historic buildings are vulnerable. Declining memberships and constrained budgets place an added burden as they strive to sustain their historic property and meet the needs of their communities. To meet this need, Partners serves as a comprehensive resource on issues related to congregational capacity-building and resource development in order to better serve their neighborhoods and the larger community.
