Overview

Mission

France Mission - US, Inc. (France Mission), is organized exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. This organization receives donations from donors in the United States, and transfers these donations to France to provide aid towards the Protestant churches. This organization keeps 6% of all donations to cover overhead costs, which include wire transfer fees, accounting software subscriptions, supplies for the organization, and tax filing. All members of this organization are volunteers and no member is paid for the services that they provide.

What it reported doing in 2021

Aid towards Protestant churches and missionaries in France, Afghanistan, and Nepal through the donation of donors in the United States

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
