Ministry Spotlight: Dignity Freedom Network
No longer makes 990s or audited financials public, citing safety concerns
Dignity Freedom Network (DFN), a ministry working with women and families across India, recently saw a jump in its Donor Confidence Score from 37 to 52. That still places the organization in the “Exercise Caution” category, mostly due to it not making its Form 990s available to the public.

A spokesperson for DFN told MinistryWatch the organization does not file a 990 “with the IRS, but we do prepare them every year and are happy to send them to donors.”
The spokesperson said it “stopped filing [990s] for the safety of our workers in India where we are doing the ministry” but that it “goes through an audit every year.”
DFN sent a copy of its latest 990 to MinistryWatch. In 2023, the organization had a revenue of $2.1 million, and its expenses were $2.7 million. It has $1.4 million in net assets.
DFN is also a member of the ECFA, but has requested that its member profile be hidden.
“We’re still a member, still in good standing, but we asked them to remove us from the website for safety issues,” the DFN spokesperson told MinistryWatch.
DFN works across India offering services like education and skills training, early marriage prevention, and healthcare. According to its Impact Report, more than 12,000 women and babies received healthcare in 2024, 3.8 million meals were served, and 1,630 women participated in vocational training programs.
