SIL International Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization

DALLAS, TX – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of SIL International of Dallas, TX.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
    
SIL International 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 see people flourishing in community using the languages they value most,” said Michael Martin, president of ECFA.

Founded in 1982, SIL International (http://sil.org) advocates, builds capacity, and works with local communities to apply language expertise that advances meaningful development, education, and engagement with Scripture.
