Powerful Flagship
A high-value, year-long experience built around authentic connection, leadership coaching, deep soul care, three in-person experiences, curriculum, and community.


MARKETING CO-OP
Prepared by Chandler Boyce · Prepared for Karlee Marsh · The 10TEN Project
Building the pathways that help pastors discover support, churches strengthen leaders, and partners fund the mission.
“10TEN has a powerful destination. The opportunity is to build more on-ramps.”
The Google Ad Grant can become a powerful acquisition channel, but it is not the entire strategy. The Blueprint will connect audiences, offers, content, search, partnerships, follow-up, and measurement into one growth system.
Section 01 · Current State
A concise diagnosis of where 10TEN stands today, before any tactics are chosen.
A high-value, year-long experience built around authentic connection, leadership coaching, deep soul care, three in-person experiences, curriculum, and community.
A cold audience is being asked to move from free content to an approximately $9,000 to $10,000 commitment.
There are few lower-commitment offers between awareness and the flagship journey.
10TEN already has curriculum, field guides, Vimeo videos, coaches, stories, and expertise that can be repackaged and distributed.
Enrollment may involve the pastor, spouse, lead pastor, board, church, family, or sponsor.
These challenges are solvable — but not with tactics alone. A clear, sequenced growth plan can turn the flagship, content, and donor base into a coordinated engine for sustainable impact.
“The flagship should remain the destination, but it cannot remain the only doorway.”
Section 02 · Audiences
Each engine has its own message, proof, and next step, and each one strengthens the other two.
The Mission
Healthier leaders who live well, lead well, and finish strong.
Audience 01
Goal: Discover support, build trust, enter community, and find the right level of care.
Primary outcomes
Audience 02
Goal: Refer, sponsor, and proactively care for pastors before crisis.

Audience 03
Goal: Fund scholarships, programs, content, soul care, and organizational capacity.

Section 03 · Financial Context
Strategic context from the latest publicly available FY2024 Form 990. These figures are public filing data, not a current 2025 or 2026 internal financial statement, and they are shared to validate why all three growth engines are necessary.

FY2024
FY2024 revenue increased 58% from FY2023.
The source calculates approximately 67% average annual growth from FY2020 through FY2024.
Insight
10TEN already operates through a dual-revenue model. Contributions fund the majority of the mission, while program revenue provides a meaningful earned-income base. The strategy should strengthen both rather than treating donors and participants as separate priorities.
Insight
The 87% program-service ratio is a strong donor-trust and case-for-support asset, provided 10TEN pairs it with clear impact outcomes, stories, and transparent reporting.
Existing Proof of Institutional Support
The FY2024 filing lists $70K in grants from three funders.
10TEN has evidence that foundations and ministry institutions will fund the mission. A formal case for support, impact reporting, and partnership pipeline can help turn isolated grants into a repeatable development engine.
Because 65% of FY2024 revenue came from contributions and 35% from program services, the growth plan must include both donor development and a stronger product ladder.
The FY2024 operating deficit and 3.7-month calculated runway strengthen the case for monthly donors, annual church partners, recurring community revenue, and a deliberate reserve-building plan.
The flagship produces meaningful earned revenue but is capacity-limited and high-commitment. A recurring community, paid starter offers, and regional experiences can expand access and diversify program revenue without replacing the flagship.
An 87% program-service ratio is compelling, but donors need to see what those dollars accomplish: pastors served, scholarships awarded, cohorts completed, marriages and ministries strengthened, and leaders remaining healthy over time.
Illustrative, Not a Forecast
Gross revenue before delivery costs, churn, scholarships, payment fees, or taxes.
| Members | Price | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | $197/month | $4,925 | $59,100 |
| 25 | $297/month | $7,425 | $89,100 |
| 50 | $297/month | $14,850 | $178,200 |
A validated community could create a meaningful recurring earned-income layer while nurturing future flagship participants. Economics and coach capacity must be confirmed during the Blueprint.
All figures above are drawn from the latest publicly available FY2024 Form 990 as summarized by philanthropy.org and are rounded for presentation. They are shared as strategic context, not as a financial-health rating or critique. FY2024 Form 990 summary · philanthropy.org

Section 08 · Website
One homepage, three clear doors. Each audience needs its own message, proof, call to action, and follow-up.
Recommended primary navigation
I'm a pastor looking for support
I want to support or refer a pastor
I want to invest in healthier pastors
Current gap
“Right now, too many audiences arrive at the same general contact form. Each audience needs its own message, proof, call to action, and follow-up sequence.”
Section 09 · Channels
Every channel earns its place by owning one job and handing off to one defined next step.
Capture active search intent
→ Assessment, guide, confidential call
Build long-term search visibility
→ Resources and assessment
Build trust and authority
→ Resource, community, call
Create awareness and retarget interest
→ Video, guide, assessment
Nurture each audience
→ Appropriate next offer
Establish trust and tell stories
→ Website resource or call
Build referral and sponsor relationships
→ Partnership conversation
Build vision and financial commitment
→ First gift or recurring partnership
Generate stories, referrals, mentoring, and introductions
→ Refer, facilitate, sponsor
Key principle
“Every channel needs a defined role. More activity without a connected next step creates noise, not growth.”
Section 10 · The Opportunity
10TEN Project doesn't have to manufacture demand. Every month, pastors and ministry leaders are already turning to Google looking for answers about burnout, exhaustion, recovery, counseling, retreats, resources, and staying healthy in ministry.
Right now, most of 10TEN Project's growth comes through word of mouth. Our goal is to put 10TEN Project in front of more of these leaders at the moment they are actively searching for help.

If we only looked at the phrase “pastor burnout,” it would be easy to assume there isn't much search demand. But people rarely describe the same problem in exactly the same way.
SEO allows us to understand the language people actually use and build content around it.
Real Searches
A sample of high-value searches happening every month, exactly as they are typed into Google.
There is a real person behind every search
These aren't just keywords. They're pastors asking questions. They're ministry leaders looking for help. They're spouses trying to understand what is happening. They're churches searching for resources. They're people looking for a path forward — and every search creates an opportunity for 10TEN Project to meet someone at a moment of need.
Intent
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
This is why the opportunity is bigger than ranking for one keyword. We can build an ecosystem that meets pastors throughout the entire journey.
High Intent
These searches matter because the intent has changed. Someone searching for a statistic may be learning. Someone searching for a retreat, counseling, recovery, resources, or help is much closer to taking action.
Those are opportunities for 10TEN Project to introduce:
Language

Searches / Month
2,211
Searches / Month
1,252
Searches / Month
Nearly half of the opportunity exists outside the word “pastor.”
This is exactly why keyword research matters. If we only build pages around the terminology 10TEN Project uses internally, we may miss the terminology pastors and ministry leaders are actually typing into Google.
We build the strategy around their language.
Content
Instead of writing random blog posts, we build intentional content ecosystems. Each page answers a specific question someone is already asking.
Hub

Pastor Burnout Statistics
Signs of Pastor Burnout
What Causes Pastor Burnout?
How to Recover From Pastor Burnout
Pastor Burnout Retreats

Two Strategies
Faster Visibility
The Google Ad Grant can give eligible nonprofits access to Google Search advertising without requiring 10TEN Project to fund the traditional advertising budget.
We can build campaigns around high-intent searches and begin testing which messages, keywords, resources, and offers drive engagement.
Potential Campaign Themes
Long-Term Authority
SEO builds the organic foundation.
We create useful pages and resources around what pastors are already searching for so 10TEN Project can increasingly appear in unpaid Google results and AI-powered search experiences.
SEO compounds over time.
The goal is not simply “more website traffic.”
More of the right people discovering 10TEN Project.
Compounding
Search demand
Google Ad Grant
Discover which searches + messages perform
Create better content
SEO authority grows
More organic discovery
More pastors enter the 10TEN Project ecosystem
Programs + resources + community + relationships
Then repeat.
The Ad Grant helps us capture demand now. SEO helps us build an asset for the future.
Together, they give 10TEN Project a sustainable search strategy instead of relying exclusively on referrals and word of mouth.
Positioning
We are not trying to “get more clicks.” We are trying to help the right pastor find 10TEN Project at the right moment.
The Strategy Starts by Understanding
Then we build the Google Ad Grant, SEO strategy, content, landing pages, offers, and measurement around those answers — which is exactly what the Digital Marketing Blueprint process is designed to produce.
Step 1
Understand 10TEN Project's audiences, offers, programs, mission, goals, messaging, search demand, conversion paths, and opportunities.
Step 2
Map keywords to specific audiences, problems, resources, pages, campaigns, and calls to action.
Step 3
Build campaigns that put 10TEN Project in front of people actively searching for relevant help and resources.
Step 4
Develop an intentional content ecosystem designed around real search demand.
Step 5
Track what people search, which content gets discovered, which campaigns perform, and what ultimately produces meaningful engagement.
Step 6
Take what we learn from pastor burnout and expand into other issues 10TEN Project addresses.
The Vision
Word of mouth got 10TEN Project here.
Search can help introduce 10TEN Project to the pastors who haven't heard about it yet.
The people we're trying to reach are already searching. Let's make sure 10TEN Project can be found.
And “pastor burnout” is only one topic. This analysis represents a single search category.

Section 14 · Team
Growth systems fail on unclear ownership more often than on weak ideas.
| Owner | Responsible for |
|---|---|
| Josh | Vision, major relationships, flagship invitations, donor cultivation |
| Karlee | Social strategy, messaging, content system, creative direction |
| Marketing Co-op | Blueprint, Google Ad Grant, SEO/search strategy, tracking, funnels, reporting |

Why this matters
“Clear ownership protects Karlee from becoming responsible for social, Google Ads, donor development, CRM, content production, and overall marketing without the authority or capacity to manage all of it.”
