How do I know I can trust MGF with a donation?

MGF is a member in good standing with the ECFA.

ECFA is an accreditation agency dedicated to helping Christian ministries earn the public’s trust through adherence to seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship. Founded in 1979, ECFA provides accreditation to leading Christian nonprofit organizations that faithfully demonstrate compliance with established standards for financial accountability, fund-raising and board governance. Members include Christian ministries, denominations, churches, educational institutions and other tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations. Collectively, these organizations represent more than $15 billion in annual revenue.

ECFA’s Standards of Responsible Stewardship focus on board governance, financial transparency, integrity in fund-raising, and proper use of charity resources.

Please contact the ECFA for more information.

How much of my donation goes to the missionary or project?

MGF missionaries approved a 10% deduction from missionary support contributions to finance the general fund. This pays part of the costs of providing services to the missionary and supporting partners. These include receiving and managing gifts for their support, helping with income tax filings, recruiting and shepherding missionaries, compliance with governmental regulations and the list goes on. Due to a special gift to MGF, the 10% administrative deduction has been waived for the past few years allowing 100% of donation to go directly to the missionary. This is expected to continue for some time, at the discretion of the MGF Board and the providence of God.

Does my donation go directly to the missionary?

Although MGF strives to use the money as to the preference indicated, Missionary Gospel Fellowship does have complete discretion and control over the use of all donated funds.

Are there service fees with my donation?

Donations made online through CTG are charged a processing fee. Continue to Give charges approximately 3% of your gift in service fees on all credit card processed gifts. This is deducted directly from the online donation. Donations not made through the online credit card processing are not charged a fee.
