Upholding the highest standards of integrity and accountability in an increasingly watching world.
For Ministries

Enhancing trust with accountability.

Trust is difficult to gain and easy to lose. Diverse ministries and churches of all sizes and purposes experience a supportive, accountability relationship with ECFA coaches. Enhance trust with your donors through ECFA accreditation and innovative resources.

For Donors

Inspiring confidence in givers.

It’s important to trust that your gifts and donations are being stewarded well. The ECFA standards set a high bar for organizations, often far above the minimums required by law, making it easy to find a trusted ministry and connect your generosity to worthy, Christ-centered causes.
