The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is comprised of more than 700 charitable, religious, and educational organizations - all of which are qualified for tax-exempt, nonprofit status. The purpose of ECFA is to establish a code of financial accountability, which is consistent with responsible Christian faith and practice for each of its members.
Our membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability entitles us to display the ECFA seal on all of our literature. It says to friends like you that this ministry holds the highest standards of Christian ethics in financial accounting and reporting.
And because of ECFA's strategic location in Washington, DC, it helps present the concerns and interests of Christian organizations, like ours, to the government and to private ministries.
