Mission Possible’s Commitment to Accountability
Applying a Higher Standard, serving a Higher Purpose
As an organization committed to serving and honoring Jesus Christ, we have promised to operate in a manner reflecting integrity, honesty, excellence, and faithful stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. This has been our pledge to fiends and supporters like you. However, we know our pledge can only take on credibility when it is fortified by our actions. We want to prove ourselves faithful to our promises. This is why the ECFA seal means so much to us—and to you.
ECFA (the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) was founded in 1979 to help ensure the integrity of Christ-centered organizations that are qualified for nonprofit, tax-exempt status. Today, over 1,200 Christian organizations submit to the annual evaluation and approval process established by ECFA—resulting in a powerful collective testimony of accountability before God and man.
Through accreditation by ECFA, we demonstrate our commitment to biblical excellence and accountability. Because we faithfully adhere to ECFA Standards, we have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. This seal tells our friends, supporters, and constituents that our ministry upholds high standards—not only in word, but also in deed. The ECFA seal means that Mission Possible:
● Has a clear and strong commitment to evangelical Christianity
● Has an independent Board of Directors that governs our activities
● Submits to an annual independent audit
● Manages and applies funds with appropriate controls
● Believes in and practices financial disclosure
● Follows strict standards for fundraising and stewardship
The ECFA seal is an outward expression of our inner resolve to represent truth and integrity in all aspects of our ministry: our fund-raising, financial accounting and reporting, our governance, the stewardship of God’s resources, and in our valued relationships with you, our supporter and friend. |

Canadian Council of Christian Charities
(CCCC): Donors, government organizations and the public have become
increasingly concerned about the integrity and accountability of charities. People
want to know that they are giving their money to an organization that
embraces high standards and operates in a transparent manner.
Since 1983 CCCC has administered an accountability program that provides
the donor with the assurance that they can give confidently and
generously to a charity. Under the program, charities receive accreditation based
on rigorous standards for organizational integrity and accountability.
In this program, Christian ministries of all types and sizes join
together in showing the value they place on conducting themselves in a manner in
keeping with the character of the Lord they serve.
Key Benefits of Certification:
* Public recognition that the organization has met rigorous standards.
* Positive reflection on the organization and the Christian community
as a whole.
* An effective benchmark for donors and potential donors to evaluate a
ministry.
* Demonstration of accountability by the ministry or organization.
* Donors can give with confidence.
