Fulfilling the Great Commission through collaboration.

Friends of the Great Commission is a team of skilled administrative and accounting professionals dedicated to using their expertise to enable people to follow God's calling. We are registered as a 501(c)3 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).


How do we help with ministry?

Friends of the Great Commission works with ministries of many types and sizes. We want to see people working in ministry thrive and believe that, by providing administrative expertise and guidance, we can free people to focus on the mission work God has called them to.

Professional Services In addition to our office staff and the expertise they provide, Friends of the Great Commission engages charity specialists, including a Charity Specialist Lawyer, to assist with understanding IRS requirements and changes, as well as a professional Charity Specialist Auditor (MNP) to conduct an annual audit of the Foundation.

We enable our ministry partners to benefit from these crucial services without having to bear the burden of high financial or time investment costs associated with these services.

Testimonies

We are very pleased with FGC's values, mission, and impact. It was easy to apply to FGC, and working with FGC to create our budget was very fruitful. Submitting monthly reimbursement requests is easy and funds are received very quickly.
Life Matters Training Center - Steven Rosati
I transferred to FGC in 2019 and it has been a good experience ever since. They have low overhead costs, which is a big highlight for me, and their staff is quick to respond to any correspondence. The financial team is really good and generally resolves issues quickly and makes it easier for me to do my taxes at the end of the year.
Heather Askew (Jojo's Sanctuary) - Heather Askew
The handling of the relationship between FGC and our donors has been amazing. Timely communications and updates regarding progress we were making during the applications process and with answering questions about accounts has been very well done.
