Why ECFA Accreditation Matters

Ministries that display the ECFA seal are committed to high standards of transparency and financial accountability, usually much higher than legally required. That commitment ensures you can give confidently to ECFA accredited members.

Accountability in Relationship

Our team of experienced, professional staff with accounting, finance, and law credentials walks alongside every ECFA accredited organization as a coach, helping them pursue high standards and pointing them to helpful resources.

Credibility Builds Confidence

It's undeniable the image of Christian ministry has been scarred by the actions of a select few organizations. Membership in ECFA is a powerful statement that a ministry acts responsibly and honors its commitment to accountability.

Starting from a Place of Trust

More than ever, donors like you are investing their money in causes they believe in and organizations that display integrity and transparency in their work. Organizations that display the ECFA seal give you a head start in building trust.
