ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Friends of the Great Commission (FGC) is a registered charity with a team of skilled administrative and accounting personnel dedicated to using their talents and expertise to enable people to follow God’s calling to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. FGC is a registered 501 (c) (3) with the Internal Revenue Agency. (EIN: 46-5506318)
OUR VISION AND MISSION
Vision Statement: To fulfill the Great Commission through collaboration.
Mission Statement: To simplify ministry and mission by providing donor, administrative, and compliance expertise.
OUR MANDATE AND WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MISSIONS
FGC works exclusively with Christian ministries and ministry projects in a dynamic cooperative relationship. Ministries engage in outreach activities and provide personnel on the mission field, while FGC provides essential administrative and accounting expertise. FGC relieves much of the administrative burden all charities must manage, enabling our partners to focus on the ministry work to which God has called them. It is a team effort working towards common charitable goals: the advancement of the Christian faith, the furtherance of education, and the relief of poverty.
WHAT MAKES FGC UNIQUE?
Friends of the Great Commission (FGC) is a solution for individuals, missionaries, non-profits, charities, churches and project-based ministries. We can help those whose goals align with ours by bringing them on as an FGC Agent and Project.
Our charitable purposes are:
- The advancement of the Christian faith;
- The furtherance of education; and
- The relief of poverty.
- We are a place for Non-Profits and Missionaries. Not all projects and ministries fit into a traditional ministry model. Often people find God calling them to a specific people group or type of ministry, yet their project or ministry does not fall into the criteria of any current mission board. These individuals, projects or ministries are non-profit, but not necessarily a recognized charity; we are a great solution to allow them to move forward in ministry and missions.
- We are a solution for both New and Established Churches. New church plants find it helpful to utilize our expertise, which includes donor services, contract payments and guidance in administrative and financial best practices to meet Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements. Established churches are often presented with great outreach or mission opportunities by their congregation, but when these ministry opportunities do not match with their charitable purposes, Friends of the Great Commission Foundation can be the solution.
- We help Registered Charities. When your organization wants to ensure transparency and best practices for charity administration and accounting, FGC can help. We come alongside registered charities, providing services that help alleviate the administrative burden, and provide donor services. This allows the charity to focus more time on ministry work.
- We provide options for Organizations with US Donors. FGC can help nonprofit organizations with US donors who have the same charitable purposes as Friends of the Great Commission. They can join us as a partner of FGC. We specialize in providing administrative guidance and support. We register with state and federal governments and keep a charity specialist lawyer on retainer to ensure ongoing compliance requirements are known and met.
