Fostering Hope New England Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization

PROVIDENCE, RI – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of Fostering Hope New England of Providence, RI.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
    
Fostering Hope New England joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 27 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 accredit a ministry committed to empower churches and individuals to care for children and families impacted by foster care,” said Michael Martin, president of ECFA.

Founded in 2012, Fostering Hope New England’s (http://fosteringhope.org) vision is the dream of a day when ZERO children in foster care are waiting for a safe, supported family to care for them.
