Overview

Mission

INTERNATIONAL DISCIPLES FOUNDATION (IDF), a Texas nonprofit corporation, is organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Within the scope of the foregoing purposes, IDF will operate a Christ-centered ministry focused upon international students attending universities, colleges and schools in Dallas, Texas and throughout the North Texas area.

To achieve its purposes IDF shall associate with churches and organizations in The United Methodist Church, and other churches and organizations when appropriate. In addition, IDF may make grants to individuals and to other charitable, religious and educational organi

What it reported doing in 2014

Emergency Assistance - International students are not unlike other students, in that unforeseen events can arise. Unfortunately, these students do not have the ability or contacts here in the U.S. to obtain these funds in a timely manner. We provided grants to international students for these emergencies, such as a return flight home for a funeral or emergency medical expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
