This is a very reasonable question.
Although ICM is a volunteer organization, we require funding in order to raise the vision of volunteer chaplaincy, recruit,
train and coordinate chaplains and support the local chapters. The key emphasis of our budget is:
- Training and Chaplain Materials
- Ministry Support
- Communications
- Travel
ICM supports a National Office which, in turn, provides services to the local Chapters.
- Leadership training
- Chaplaincy training through seminars and materials
- Planting new chapters
- Nurturing and shepherding chapters
- Presentation materials, publicity and printed materials
- Speakers
- Recruitment of chaplains and placement locations
- Identification through business cards, name badges, and jackets
- On-site assistance when a chapter is floundering or has a loss of leadership
- Tax-deductible status for all donations
Any organization that does not provide leadership, assistance, and shepherding of its local chapters will not grow or survive.
Therefore, it is necessary to have and support a National Office to further the mission of ICM.
