Armenian Relief and Development Association Becomes an ECFA Accredited Organization
Armenian Relief and Development Association Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
PASADENA, CA – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of Armenian Relief and Development Association of Pasadena, CA.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Armenian Relief and Development Association joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 27 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.
“We are pleased to accredit a ministry committed to minister to the needs of the most vulnerable and socially deprived children, elderly, and families in Armenia who lack support structures to sustain their basic human and spiritual needs,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 1970, Armenian Relief and Development Association (http://ardausa.org) is a non-denominational Christian humanitarian organization based in Pasadena, California, with offices in Yerevan and Gyumri, Armenia.
