What Is ECFA?
Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability
"We are so glad we can say with utter honesty that in all our
dealings we have been pure and sincere. Quietly depending upon the Lord
for His help, and not on our own skills." 2 Corinthians 1:12 (ECFA's Theme Verse)
About ECFA
"ECFA is an accreditation agency dedicated to helping Christians ministries earn the public's trust through adherence to seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship. Founded in 1979, it is comprised of over 2,000 evangelical Christian organizations, which qualify for tax-exempt, nonprofit status and receive tax-deductible contributions to support their work." Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).
Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship
"ECFA's Standards of Responsible Stewardship focus on board governance, financial transparency, integrity in fund-raising, and proper use of charity resources."
"Accountability to God is vital, but people form their impressions of both people and organizations by looking at the outward appearances (1 Samuel 16:7). The basis for establishing ECFA and developing Standards of Responsible Stewardship is stated clearly by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 8:21 (NIV): 'For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.' The Standards, drawn from Scripture, are fundamental to operating with integrity. "
