Who we are

A nonprofit built to widen access to practical leadership tools.

Global Mission Support exists so that churches, nonprofits, lodges, and underserved teams can name the load their structure is carrying — without cost becoming the barrier.

Our mission

Global Mission Support is a nonprofit deployment partner dedicated to expanding access to practical leadership, formation, and community-support resources. Through donor-funded programs, scholarships, translated materials, and sponsored cohorts, we help mission-driven organizations strengthen both the people and the structures carrying their work.

The goal is not to score people. It is to help a team see what the structure is carrying, what people are absorbing, and what must be reinforced next.

How we are structured

Global Mission Support is one part of a deliberately separated three-part structure. That separation is what keeps charitable work charitable and lets donors see exactly how their support is used.

  • Global Mission Support (the nonprofit) deploys approved community content for charitable access, scholarships, and cohorts. It does not sell enterprise consulting or run paid software.
  • A separate commercial company (Global Support) handles all paid products, consulting, and certification. Donor funds are never used for commercial gain, and commercial offers are never presented as charitable access.
  • A separate IP holder owns the underlying framework and licenses the approved Community Edition content to Global Mission Support under a royalty-free, restricted charitable-use license — so the nonprofit never pays the founder’s holding company to do charitable work.
The line we hold: donor funds fund charitable programs only. They do not subsidize commercial product development, commercial sales activity, or investor returns. See Governance & Financials for the full safeguards.

What we support

  • Sponsored DIAL Community cohorts for teams that need a structured first reading and a guided debrief.
  • Leadership-access scholarships for teams that would benefit from facilitation but cannot fund it alone.
  • Translated and community-ready tools prepared for broad access and local use.
  • Seasonal mission support where practical need and leadership formation meet.

Governance and integrity

Because the founder is connected to each part of the structure, we treat related-party risk as a first-order matter, not a footnote. Global Mission Support is governed by a board that has adopted a written conflict-of-interest policy under which the founder is recused from related-party votes and arm’s-length terms are documented. Two additional independent director seats are pending election, moving the board toward a disinterested majority. Charitable programming runs on board-approved budgets and restricted-fund accounting, with impact reported back to donors.

Board of Directors

  • Jason Tomlinson — Founder. Creator of the Load-Bearing Leadership System and originator of Structural Leadership Integrity Theory; founding principal of both Global Support (commercial) and Global Mission Support. His background in financial planning and analysis, organizational consulting, and leadership development shapes the framework’s emphasis on measurable structural integrity, and his doctoral research centers on the theory behind it. As the founder connected to each part of the structure, he is recused from related-party votes.
  • Johaina Tomlinson — Director. Supports Global Mission Support across content development, program execution, and operational continuity — helping turn the framework into community-ready tools and keeping charitable programs running consistently between cohorts.
  • Maxym Potapov — Director. Works with founders, operators, and early-stage teams on building load-bearing structure — clear roles, decision rights, honest signal, and sustainable pace — before growth turns strain into collapse.
  • Two seats — pending election. Two additional independent director positions are being filled to establish a disinterested board majority.

Where we are today

We are early and we say so. Global Mission Support is in its first program year, building toward four community prototype cohorts in 2026. Our Canadian nonprofit registration is in progress, and engaging nonprofit-tax counsel on our structure is a named near-term milestone. We publish goals as goals and results as results — never the first as if it were the second.
