Overview
Mission
To inspire, educate, and motivate Christian nonprofit leaders as they cultivate cultures of biblical generosity within their organizations.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, icgc's membership grew significantly to include 43 nonprofit and 7 individual members. Program services this past year included four quarterly member events, with guest speakers presenting topics that included: empowering mission growth & building kingdom partnerships, nonprofit story telling, wholehearted service, without losing heart, big beautiful bill - nonprofit technical update. There were also two "deeper dive" workshops related to: building kingdom partners, effective communication through story telling. Attendance was strong at all these events, with very positive member feedback. An important additional benefit from these sessions is the unique opportunity for the members to meet, to network and support each other in a non-fundraising, non- competitive environment. This has the positive effect of building a strong and engaged charitable community, that works together to serve the needs of all people. Icgc also sponsors the "ignite your legacy" annual event. This is a non-fundraising event provided at no cost for nonprofit members and their invited guests. This is an opportunity for nonprofits to recognize and thank their key supporters and staff. The evening includes - a dinner, a motivational speaker on the topic of christian generosity and a "meet the nonprofits" reception where all attendees can meet and learn more about each member organization. Over 400 people attended this past year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 61% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly.
