Children of Grace Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
DANVILLE, CA – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Children of Grace of Danville, CA.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Children of Grace joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 35 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.
“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ by offering hope to Ugandan AIDS orphans through education, healthcare and empowerment programs to enable a better future,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2001, Children of Grace (www.childrenofgrace.com) carries out their mission through a sponsorship program that allows donors to sponsor specific children as well as through general donations that pay for supplemental programs. Sponsorship pays for school fees and related expenses and healthcare. Supplemental programs address the holistic needs of the child and include Christian teaching, life application skills training, supplemental tutoring, camps and other programs.
