The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) seal on CLS' website indicates that this organization complies with a strict set of standards covering board governance, independent auditing, financial disclosure and fund-raising practices.

Formed nearly 20 year ago in an effort to encourage financial accountability and excellence among Christian nonprofit organizations, ECFA now has nearly 900 members. Each of these charities must submit to a rigorous review process each year. ECFA also randomly performs site visits on members to look behind the application forms.

CLS' most recent letter certifying its ECFA membership and ECFA's Standards of Responsible Stewardship are provided for your review.
