Overview

Mission

To engage persecuted christians and jesus seekers who live in some of africas darkest corners.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, iReach Global experienced remarkable growth as God continued to transform lives across Africa. Through the faithful support of our partners, we delivered 631 emergency Survival Kits to families in crisis, launched 101 new iReach Discussion Groups, equipped 1,102 local Christian leaders, welcomed 51 Muslim participants into discussion groups, and expanded into two new countries. .

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
