Threefold Model

Venn diagram with words "identity," "purpose," and "stewardship" written inside.Our Threefold Model helps individuals and organizations understand the relationships across three dimensions: Identity, Purpose, and Stewardship. These dimensions highlight who we are, how we take initiative, and how we align our actions across the communities we are part of. 

Although these dimensions can create natural tensions—such as balancing financial security with contributing to the common good—when aligned, they offer complementary perspectives that help us see the whole.

Identity

  • Understand your values and beliefs 
  • Act in line with your highest goals 
  • Use your unique strengths to contribute meaningfully
  • Create environments that reflect core values
  • Build a culture that nurtures potential

Purpose

  • Find and use your strengths to help meet the world’s needs
  • Offer services, programs, and contributions that match your values and mission
  • Regularly assess the quality of your contributions
  • Make sure your work is fulfilling and beneficial to those around you
  • Align personal and organizational actions to support growth and the well-being of everyone involved

Stewardship

  • Manage resources like time, money, and skills effectively and ethically
  • Consider the impact of your actions on both natural and human communities
  • Balance personal and organizational needs with those of the broader community
  • Work to meet everyone’s needs while focusing on the common good
