Core Values and Beliefs
While there are many viable nonprofit organizations reaching people in need today, ours is set apart as a faith based community organization reaching families and individuals at their greatest point of need with practical help and hope.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap
a harvest if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9
Authentic Community
We believe that life change happens best in community. In small groups and day to day
connections, we can live authentic, accountable, and connected lives. Through these
relationships we grow in Christ and show the love of Christ to others.
Colossians 3:13-14; I Thessalonians 2:8
Hope for the Hurting
We believe that everyone matters to God. As Christ followers, we are dedicated to caring for our community and the world. Roman 15:3; Matthew 25:35-40

WE PROVIDE
Organization
Financial Peace, Accountability, Structure & Collaboration!
Leadership
Our experienced team is your resource. We want to help you build a sustainable ministry. While each ministry operates autonomously, we’re here to coach you through the details of constructing your nonprofit ministry and thriving into the future.
Nonprofit Status
We are incorporated as a nonprofit 501c3 with the IRS and registered in Washington State. All our ministries work under InFocus as their “parent organization” while using their own name and branding.
Donor Reporting
Giving records and tax statements are sent annually to all ministry donors. Our generous supporters receive reports for tax-deductions and assurance that all funds are used to further the ministry.
Bookkeeping
We process all receivables and payables for the ministries. Taxes and account reviews are handled for you and in compliance with IRS requirements. We provide monthly cash flow statements for each ministry.
Insurance
No project is immune to risk. As part of our community, you will be protected with liability insurance and comprehensive plans to suit your activity level.
One of the biggest expenses for a ministry is individual and event liability insurance. Being a part of a group like ours enables you to purchase at a significantly reduced group rate that is apportioned to your specific ministry needs.
Experienced Board of Directors
Our directors are a valuable resource to each ministry. Their professional backgrounds include: Business Management, Finance, Marketing, Pastoring, Government, Medical, Teaching, Consulting, and more. They are dedicated to the mission of IFM.
Accountability
Our top priority is to serve effectively with the highest ethical standards for spiritual and fiscal accountability. As an organization we are accountable to several different evangelical bodies and follow best practices for nonprofit organizations.
