Thank you for considering support my work at Refuge Foundation.  We are here to serve those who serve others.


This is my third year with the Refuge ministry and it gets better every year. I see my impact growing alongside the growth of the organization. My goal is to make a career-based income while working in ministry. I am still paying off college debt and also am trying to be a good steward of my gifts and so taking some furthering education classes for the type of work I'm doing comes out of my pocket. I'm trusting that the Lord will provide through his people to continue to do some pretty incredible and important things for the kingdom. If you're curious about what I'm working on with the ministry or jsut what we do in general, feel free to reach out! I'd love to connect! Email me at smithmitchellford@gmail.com!



About Refuge Foundation

Refuge is made up of a diverse consortium of individuals who care deeply about faith and non-profit leaders and desire to see them flourish. All too often, faith and non-profit leaders experience stress and scrutiny that leads to leadership burnout.

The statistics are staggering. We desire to walk alongside leaders in a manner that serves them, refreshes them and coaches them toward holistic health. Refuge desires to serve people who serve people. By keeping not-for-profit leaders healthy, we believe we can bolster the organizations they lead and make the world a better place. There are plenty of organizations that offer helpful, remedial assistance to burnt-out leaders, their services are needed and valued. However, Refuge desires to avoid leadership burnout through preventative means thereby avoiding preventable crisis.
