About Us
WHO WE ARE
The Great Commission Foundation (GCF) is 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. GCF is a registered with the Canada Revenue Agency to do charitable work. (#85992 8483 RR0001).
OUR VISION AND MISSION
Mission Statement: To simplify ministry and mission by providing donor, administrative, and compliance expertise.
OUR MANDATE AND WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MISSIONS
GCF works exclusively with Christian ministries and projects in a dynamic cooperative relationship. Ministries and projects engage in outreach activities and provide on-site personnel on the mission field, while GCF provides essential administrative and accounting expertise. GCF enables our Agents to focus on the ministry work to which God has called them. It is a team effort working towards common goals: the advancement of the Christian faith, the furtherance of education, and the relief of poverty.
WHAT MAKES GCF UNIQUE?
The Great Commission Foundation 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 a GCF 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 liberating to utilize our expertise, which includes donor services, payroll, and guidance in administrative and financial best practices to meet Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) 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, the Great Commission Foundation can be the solution.
- We help Registered Charities. It is growing more difficult for registered charities to find solutions for their administrative and accounting needs. In addition, adhering to the compliance requirements of Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is increasingly challenging. Meeting CRA standards is vital to retaining charitable status. We come alongside registered charities, providing services that take some of the burden of administration and remove the process of determining how to meet CRA compliance requirements off of them. This allows the charity to focus on ministry. We specialize in providing administrative guidance and support.
- We provide options for Organizations with Canadian Donors. Nonprofit organizations with Canadian donors who do not have charitable status in Canada, but have the same charitable purposes as the Great Commission Foundation, can join us as an Agent and Project of GCF. We provide donor services, including official tax receipts, to financial supporters.
