Overview

Mission

Grace Global Ministries exists to assist local churches in sending global workers to fulfill the Great Commission.

What it reported doing in 2025

GGM enables missionaries to serve in various long-term ministry positions around the world by providing administrative and financial support services. All missionaries serving with GGM are accountable to their respective sending and supporting churches and donors and to the GGM board of directors. GGM is unique from traditional mission agencies by partnering directly with local churches to send missionaries to the locations around the work where they feel called to go. These expenses deal with the payroll related costs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
