No two organizations are identical. Thus, there is no such thing as "one size fits all." Through creative ideation, we adapt our proven principles to your unique situation and set a suggested donation amount that makes sense for you.
Here's the deal...ViaCordis offers chaplaincy services free of charge! We so believe in the value of the services we provide, we're confident you'll want to pass along the blessing to other organizations you know. As we serve you, we merely request you consider a suggested voluntary contribution; we don't require a fee for our service. We derive our suggested contribution amounts based on the following commensurate fees charged by competitor organizations (acquired from personal interview with Ron Henry, Marketplace Chaplains):
$325 flat fee / month to cover mobile platforms and basic care.
$15 / employee / month for organizations with 22+ employees.
$8 / employee / month for organizations with 200+ employees.
Of course, for a number of our corporate clients, federal restrictions limit the amounts they are allowed to donate. Thus, they prefer a typical "fee for service" structure instead. We're happy to accommodate their particular situation. You may prefer the same. That's just fine.
Again, ViaCordis invites employers to “Pay It Forward” as they donate resources to bless other businesses with the opportunity for the same…to enjoy chaplaincy services free of charge!
Models Extravagant Love and Extreme Generosity to employees.
Serves as a witness to those outside the fold of faith.
Marks Christ-Followers as ones who will be known by their love.
Promotes Care for others; Lives out the Bible’s command to “love neighbor.”
Fosters a Journey of Faith as an expression of our mission.
Stewards donor contributions with prudence, integrity and carefulness as services would be limited to that which has been already been funded by gracious donors.
Tethers ViaCordis to its core mission of Gospel advance and core Christian virtues even as it adheres to wise business practices in the stewardship of its resources.
Allows contributors (employers) to experience the joy of giving, fostering a growing passion for gospel patronage.
Engenders a theology of abundance rather than scarcity.
Similar to the discipline of tithing, the “Pay it Forward” model not only provides the donor an opportunity to express gratitude to God, but allows her/him to embrace a posture of faith, to rediscover their relationship with money and God’s broader resources, and to grow in God-inspired, God-honoring generosity.
The “Pay it Forward” model accomplishes all of this (!) while providing a much-needed distribution system to avail gospel resources that directly impact the Christian worker, fostering a robust theology of work and human flourishing.
The “Pay it Forward” model accomplishes all of this (!) while allowing ViaCordis Chaplains to build relationships with employees with the hope of gaining permission to share the life-changing Good news of Jesus Christ, in a non-threatening manner.
