Fulfilling the Great Commission through collaboration.

Since 2002, the heartbeat of The Great Commission Foundation (The GC) has been to serve, connect, and guide ministries so they flourish, freeing them to focus on their God-inspired purpose. At the heart of everything we do are people - God has called us to help in a way that allows more people to do more ministry that transforms more lives... sharing the gospel, advancing education, and addressing poverty.

How does The GC support this global gospel movement? Quietly, faithfully, and with excellence. The team handles everything from donation receipting and budget reviews to compliance and financial reporting. For our ministries this means freedom - freedom to grow, to focus, and to reach people for Christ without being distracted by paperwork, red tape, or fear of getting something wrong. And our team goes beyond bringing administrative relief, providing care and prayer for our ministry leaders and workers.

We provide, within an agency framework, direction and control to more than 500 ministries bringing relief around the world. From Church plants and schools, to orphanages, hospitals, feeding programs, Scripture distribution, and broadcasting, The GC ensures that projects are managed according to a strict set of guidelines.

The GC is a registered charity in Canada with Canada Revenue Agency and in the US with the Internal Revenue Service. In this capacity we carefully review and undertake projects that fit within our charitable objects on behalf of both Canadian and American donors, and provide appropriate direction, control, and oversight to each.

We strive to meet all legal and regulatory matters relating to the operations of Christian Charities in Canada and the U.S.

Our Mission

Our Vision

To fulfill the Great Commission through collaboration.

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 us 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 an agent (a ministry 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 recognized charities; 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 requirements. Established churches are often presented with great outreach or mission opportunities by their congregation, but when these ministry opportunities do not match their charitable purposes, the Great Commission Foundation can be the solution.

  • We help registered charities. Many Christian charities are finding it increasingly difficult to find solutions for their administrative and accounting needs. In addition, adhering to the compliance requirements of the Canada Revenue Agency can be challenging, yet meeting these standards is vital to retaining charitable status. We come alongside registered charities, providing services that reduce the burden of administration and remove the weight of determining how to fulfill their compliance requirements. Providing this relief allows the charity to focus more time on ministry work.

  • 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 (a ministry project). We provide donor services, including official tax receipts, to financial supporters.
