Living Hope International Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
FORT WASHINGTON, PA – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Living Hope International of Fort Washington, PA.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fund-raising.
Living Hope International 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 raising children who are equipped to take a place in society where they can help others,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2004, Living Hope International (www.livinghopeintl.org) raises funds for the construction and support of orphanages, cares for and trains orphans to become independent adults, and recruits staff for the orphanages.
