SPE Coordination Office
The Sustaining Pastoral Excellence Grant Coordination Program is administered by Duke Divinity School on behalf of Lilly Endowment Inc.
The Coordination Program’s purpose is to:
- Assist Lilly Endowment in the administration of the SPE Grant Program,
- Support individual SPE programs and program directors,
- Foster conversation and collaboration among programs and leaders; and
- Develop and disseminate key insights and knowledge gained from the program.
To accomplish these goals, the Coordination Program provides the SPE projects with regular communication about events and activities; review and analysis of annual program reports; resource and referral services; site visits, and other support.
In turn, the Coordination Program asks the individual SPE projects and project directors to provide us with advance notice of special events; archival materials; insights that can be shared with other programs; and updates of staff and contact information.
