Financial Accountability

RIMI is committed to excellence and good stewardship of the funds entrusted to us by our friends and donors. We promise to use your gifts wisely and effectively for the various programs of the ministry approved by the board. RIMI’s commitment is to send 100% of sponsorship donations directly to the field without deducting anything for the US administration. RIMI meets the administrative expenses through general funds and special contributions.

To ensure our financial accountability to you, our donor, we are a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).

We fully support the purposes and goals of the ECFA and display its seal proudly to reflect compliance with its membership standards.
