RICHMOND, TX – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Grace International Children's Foundation of Richmond, TX.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Grace International Children's Foundation 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.
