Nonprofit Spotlight: The Augustine Institute

Innovest provides Investment advice to many nonprofit organizations. This quarter, we are excited to feature the Augustine Institute.

The Augustine Institute, located in Denver, Colorado, helps Catholics understand, live, and share their faith. Jonathan Reyes founded the institution in 2006 with Tim Gray, the current President, as an answer to Pope Saint John Paul II’s call for the New Evangelization at the 1993 World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado. The New Evangelization calls for all Catholics to evangelize and deepen their faith.

To answer this call, the Augustine Institute is a leading Catholic graduate school of theology. Since its founding, the institution has expanded with the goal of giving Catholics the resources to understand their faith. The Augustine Institute acquired Lighthouse Catholic Media just ten years after their founding. In addition to offering graduate level courses, the Augustine Institute operates an online streaming service that creates award winning films called FORMED, produces books and audio talks, runs a digital prayer app called Amen, and writes curriculum for Catholic formation and sacramental preparation. All these efforts have been established to accomplish the Augustine Institute’s mission: to witness to the truth – intellectually, spiritually, and pastorally.

To get involved with the Augustine Institute’s mission, you can access their resources on their website. In addition, join thousands by either giving monthly or joining their mission in prayer.
