2026 Giving Letter
Seven years ago, God planted the vision for the Vertical Life Ecosystem — a place where businesses, nonprofits, and young adults work side-by-side, learning, building, and advancing the Kingdom together. A place where students grow into leaders while helping Kingdom enterprises gain the support, talent, and creative solutions they need.
Seven years is a long time to carry a dream, but by God’s grace, we are finally watching that dream come alive.
Today is your opportunity to come alongside this vision and accelerate the mission.
And thanks to two generous partners—Meristem and Vertical Wealth—every dollar you give today will be matched up to $10,000. Your impact literally doubles.
