Overview

Mission

ECAP provides child safety accreditation and resources to ministries that serve kids.

What it reported doing in 2025

The SBC Abuse Response Helpline is a program designed to assist ministry leaders and abuse survivors in the event of an abuse incident or allegation. When abuse takes place ministry leaders often misstep in the first few days leading to even more fall out. ECAP is collaborating with the largest Protestant denomination in the country to provide a critical time-sensitive support to more quickly respond appropriately when abuse takes place. This nation-wide Helpline will serve 49,000 churches across the country as well as Canada and US territories. Call takers and coaches will be equipped to provide prompt support and resources to callers including assistance navigating mandatory reporting and providing resources such as legal and trauma-informed counseling.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
