Encouragement FM Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
TYLER, TX – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Encouragement FM of TYLER, TX.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Encouragement FM joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 20 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 glorifying God by encouraging people, connecting their community and pointing people to Jesus Christ,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 1981, Encouragement FM (www.kvne.com & www.kgly.com) operates two Christian music stations in Tyler/Longview - 89.5 KVNE and 91.3 KGLY. Due to their outreach to the community, broadcast excellence, and large listening audience, KVNE was recently awarded the Small Market Station of the Year award from both Christian Music Broadcasters and National Religious Broadcasters. Encouragement FM focuses on making a difference locally and works with area non-profits to connect their 77,000 listeners with opportunities to serve their East Texas community.
