Ministries With An “F” Transparency Grade from MinistryWatch
MinistryWatch stands for transparency and accountability. That’s why MinistryWatch assigns a Transparency Grade to each of the nearly 800 ministries in its database. We use three criteria. Does the organization release its Form 990? Does it get a reviewed or audited financial statement? Is it a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability? If the answer to all three questions is “Yes,” then that ministry gets an “A” grade. But if the answer to all three questions is “No,” that ministry gets an “F” Transparency Grade.
The following ministries received an “F” Transparency Grade because the answer to all three questions was “No.” At MinistryWatch, we recommend to donors that they refrain giving to ministries who are not transparent, and re-direct their donor dollars toward ministries with a higher Transparency Grade.
