Our Commitment to Financial Stewardship
You work hard for what you have. When you give, you deserve to know exactly where it goes. At SEND International, financial accountability isn't a checkbox — it's a core conviction. Here's how we protect your investment and put it to work.
Financial Accountability
ECFA Accredited Since 1985
As a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), we adhere to the highest standards of financial integrity and stewardship, giving you confidence in your partnership.
Candid Platinum Accredited
We have earned the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest level available. This shows our commitment to sharing in-depth data about our financial health and the impact of our work.
Your Gift's Direct Impact
We are committed to stewarding every donation with integrity and maximizing its impact on the field. This chart shows our lean operational model in action:
- 91% for Missionary Support & Programs: The vast majority of every gift goes directly to supporting our missionaries and funding the programs that engage unreached people groups.
- 9% for Essential Services: This funds the infrastructure that keeps missionaries on the field — recruiting, training, 24/7 security monitoring, crisis response, and ongoing member care. It's not overhead. It's the foundation everything else stands on.
Your gift isn't just a donation; it's a direct investment in the Great Commission, and we steward it with the excellence that investment deserves.
Doctrinal Integrity
We are committed to the evangelical Christian faith and operate in a manner that reflects our publicly-stated beliefs.
Governance
We are governed by a responsible and independent board that provides oversight and accountability.
Financial Oversight
We prepare complete and accurate financial statements, which are audited annually by an independent certified public accountant.
Use of Resources
We ensure that all our resources are used in a responsible manner and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations.
Transparency & Disclosure
We provide copies of our current financial statements upon written request and provide a report on the use of funds to all donors.
Stewardship of Charitable Gifts
We ensure that all gifts are used for the purposes for which they were raised and honor donor designations.
Fundraising
We are committed to truthfulness and integrity in our fundraising, respecting the dignity of those we serve and never using manipulative practices.
Transparency and Accountability
Beyond our ECFA accreditation, we have a unique commitment to transparency that builds trust with both our donors and our missionaries. Every SEND missionary has the ability to view all donations made to their account in real-time. This unprecedented level of transparency creates a system of direct accountability, ensuring that every dollar serves its intended purpose on the mission field.
We consider your partnership a sacred trust, and we are dedicated to stewarding it with the integrity and excellence that honors God. If you have any questions about our financial policies or how we use your gifts, please do not hesitate to contact us.
