ALTUM MISSION PARTNERS · AFFILIATE PROGRAM
Partner With Us. Form Your People.
For parishes, apostolates, and Catholic organizations who believe in the mission of forming young adults in the interior life. Partner with Altum, bring something genuinely beautiful to your community, and earn real revenue for your ministry in the process. This is formation and fundraising in the same event.
WHAT YOUR PARTNERSHIP DOES
Your People Are Hungry for the Interior Life. We Help Feed Them.
Most Catholic organizations are doing everything right — Mass, community events, outreach — and still watching their young adult population drift. Not because they don't care, but because the interior life is the one thing that is hardest to transmit through programming alone. Altum exists to solve exactly that problem.
The Assumption Ball brings your people — and hundreds of young Catholics they have never met — into a beautiful, elevated event built around the beginning of a real formation journey. The Mental Prayer Challenge that follows gives them the structure, accountability, and community to actually build a prayer life. These are not one-off events. They are the beginning of something lasting.
As a Mission Partner you bring Altum to your community. We bring the reach, the advertising, the formation infrastructure, and the affiliate revenue model that makes it worth your while. You bring the relationships, the trust, and the hospitality that makes it real.
THE AFFILIATE FUNDRAISER MODEL
A Fundraiser That Also Forms Your People.
Most fundraisers ask your community to give. This one invites them to attend something genuinely beautiful — and your organization earns a meaningful share of every ticket sold through your affiliate link. No overhead. No event planning on your end. Just a real financial return for connecting your people to something worth attending.
YOUR UNIQUE AFFILIATE LINK
Every ticket sold through your link is tracked and attributed to your organization
DIRECT REVENUE SHARE
Earn a meaningful percentage of every ticket your community purchases — paid out after the event
ZERO OVERHEAD
No event planning, no production costs, no risk — Altum handles everything
This is not a donation model. This is a genuine revenue share. Your organization does what it already does — connects serious Catholics with something worth attending — and earns real income in return. The Ball brings in newcomers you have never reached. Your affiliate link tracks every ticket your community buys. You receive your share in a single payout after the event.

The Church's support of SOCA
Endorsed by 7 Bishops. Built on 8 Years of Formation.
Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila
"Perhaps now more than ever there is an urgent need for evangelization especially of the youth. SOCA is unique in its blend of zeal authentically Catholic mysticism and practicality to form the next generation of Catholic lay apostles."
Archbishop Alexander Sample
"I have been deeply impressed by the community's commitment to spiritual growth and healing. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking spiritual renewal and connection."
Bishop James Conley
"Souls of the Christian Apostolate has a unique and extremely important mission in today's world. The human person longs for connection at the deepest and most spiritual levels of their being. SOCA offers an opportunity for Catholics, and other Christians of Good Will, to tap into the richness of our Catholic mystical tradition."
Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson
"SOCA is among the honest and enthusiastic efforts in the Church today to contribute to the all-important work of Evangelization, sowing the seed of the Gospel in people's hearts, and thereby to bring our world to Jesus, the Lord of Life. This group is both solid and genuine; it speaks to our times. Men and young men, in particular, need a challenge, while being offered solid Catholic nourishment rooted in our best tradition."

"This conference really impacted me. I woke up a different person today. I asked Mary and my guardian angel for support and felt their constant, loving pulling me back into my prayers. What a blessing!"
— C.R., conference participant
“
I was in a very rough place — a place of deep hopelessness. Then your conference came up. This has helped me tremendously. I have concrete plans for moving forward. I have much more hope than when I first began.
— C.I., conference participant
“
Having a group of men committed to the same discipline has been a missing piece in building this habit. I am much more mindful of how I'm building my daily prayer.
— C.G., SOCA Participant
Mental Prayer
The Heart of Altum: Conversation with Christ
10,000's have learned from Altum's parent organization (SOCA)
“
The devil knows he has lost a soul who perseveringly practices mental prayer... He who neglects mental prayer needs not a devil to carry him to hell, but he brings himself there with his own hands.
-ST. TERESA OF ÁVILA
“
In mental prayer, the soul is purified from its sins, nourished with charity, confirmed in faith, and strengthened in hope; temptation is conquered, sadness dispelled; drooping powers revive... inflamed with the fire of divine love.
-ST. peter of alcantara
“
Mental prayer is morally necessary for salvation... All saints became such through mental prayer.
-ST. alphonsus ligouri
EIGHT YEARS OF FORMATION ACROSS EVERY FRONT
We Have Been Walking With Souls Through This for Eight Years.
Since 2018 SOCA has brought the interior life to tens of thousands of people through multiple online and in-person conferences, talks given across the country, the Mental Prayer Challenge with small group accountability, personal discipleship and spiritual direction, formation resources, and the SOCA plan of life structure that has walked people through building a real prayer life from the ground up. We have done this across every age group and demographic.
But young adults are a particular case. They are at the hinge point of their lives. Vocation, identity, friendship, purpose, salvation. The decisions they make in these years determine everything. They are also the demographic least reached by conventional Catholic formation and most hungry for something real. That is why Altum exists. Everything SOCA has built over eight years is now focused through the lens of what young adults specifically need and how to actually reach them.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything Your Organization Needs to Know.
What exactly does my organization commit to as a Mission Partner?
Your commitment is simple — share your affiliate link with your community through your existing channels (newsletter, bulletin, email list, social media). Altum handles all event production, advertising, ticket processing, and formation programming. You do not plan the event, manage logistics, or carry any financial risk.
How does the affiliate revenue actually work?
Every Mission Partner receives a unique tracking link. When someone from your community purchases a ticket through that link, a share of that ticket sale is attributed to your organization. After the event, Altum pays out all affiliate earnings in a single batch payment to your organization.
Do we need to be in a city where a chapter already exists?
No. Mission Partner applications are open nationally. If your city does not yet have a chapter, your partnership can help make it happen. Part of the Mission Partner conversation is identifying which cities are ready to launch.
What if our community is not in Denver?
The Denver National Conference is one expression of Altum. The chapter model — the Assumption Ball and the Mental Prayer Challenge — is designed to launch in any city. Your affiliate partnership can support a local Ball in your city, the national conference, or both.
Is there a cost to become a Mission Partner?
No. Becoming a Mission Partner is free. There is no application fee, no membership fee, and no financial commitment of any kind. Your organization earns from the partnership — it does not pay into it.
What kind of organizations make the best Mission Partners?
Parishes, apostolates, Catholic professional organizations (Young Catholic Professionals, etc.), Catholic schools and universities, diocesan young adult ministries, and any Catholic organization with an established community of young adults 18–35. If your organization has a list and a community that trusts you, you are a strong candidate.
How are payouts handled?
Altum pays out all affiliate earnings in a single batch after the event via PayPal, Venmo, or check — your preference. GHL tracks all affiliate link activity automatically so the payout calculation is accurate and transparent.
Can an individual priest or religious serve as a Mission Partner?
Yes. Individual priests, religious, and Catholic public figures with an established community or following are welcome to apply as individual affiliates. The same revenue share and affiliate link model applies.
