Research & Learning Co-Op · 2026

A problem this BIG. We can’t solve it alone.

Hunger, homelessness, and trafficking are too vast for any single organization to move the needle on. The Barna Co-Op brings rescue missions, churches, and frontline ministries together to build the evidence — and the strategy — none of us could build alone.

“When mission-driven orgs have to guess, programs close and donors leave. The Co-Op is built to prevent that.”

Since 1984, Barna has run 2M+ interviews. With Masterworks and RMA, practitioners — not just researchers — shape the questions.

How it works

Not a report. A learning community.

One cohort, twelve months, shaped by the practitioners inside it.

01
Shape the research

You participate in forming the questions that matter most to your work. The findings reflect the field — because you helped design them.

02
Early access to findings

Receive national insights before public release. Lead with data your peers don't have yet.

03
Learn with your peers

Quarterly virtual roundtables with mission leaders across the country. You're not figuring this out alone.

Choose your track

One initiative or both. Either way, you’re leading with data.
