Overview

Mission

Since its founding in 1970, NACCAP is the foremost professional enrollment organization promoting career development, spiritual growth and mutual cooperation between United States and Canadian institutions of Christian education. NACCAP desires to serve the interests of its member institutions and students seeking admission into Christian colleges, universities, graduate schools and seminaries by providing professional accountability, support and recruitment standards.

What it reported doing in 2025

Professional development: the organization administers professional development opportunities that offer leadership and certification programs as well as online training sessions to individuals and member institutions (primarily secondary education school counselors, admissions counselors and senior enrollment professionals). These programs are designed to enhance knowledge, skills, and effectiveness in areas aligned with the organization's mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
