The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) is a membership organization established in 1979. It focuses on providing accreditation and oversight to Christian ministries, churches, and nonprofit organizations that adhere to high standards of financial integrity and ethical practices. ECFA's mission is to enhance trust in Christ-centered organizations through its Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, which emphasize independent governance, sound financial management, and transparency.

ECFA offers several key services, including accreditation for organizations that meet its rigorous standards, granting them the ECFA Seal of Approval. This seal signifies credibility and trustworthiness to donors. The organization also provides educational resources, compliance monitoring, and guidance on various aspects of governance and financial management. By serving as an accountability partner, ECFA helps its members demonstrate their commitment to ethical stewardship and financial accountability, benefiting both the organizations and their supporters.
