Wise stewardship
Every dollar is prayerfully and strategically allocated. We avoid unnecessary debt, limit financial risk, and align spending with board-approved priorities.
Financial accountability
Stewardship. Transparency. Trust.
Every gift represents a donor’s trust and an opportunity to advance disciple-making among unreached people. We are committed to stewarding both with integrity.
Our budget is prepared with the Board Finance Committee, Board Treasurer, and President; approved annually by the full Board; and monitored through quarterly financial statements. Monthly internal audits and reconciliations support accuracy and accountability.

How accountability works
Good stewardship is a shared discipline.
Clear policies, independent support, and board oversight help ensure resources stay aligned with GoTEN’s mission.
Board oversight
The full Board approves the annual budget and reviews financial statements, key trends, and risk factors at least quarterly.
Internal controls
Monthly internal audits, bank reconciliations, dual authorization, and documented procedures protect assets and support accurate reporting.
Professional support

Donor intent
We honor the purpose of every gift.
- Restricted gifts are used exclusively for the purpose specified by the donor.
- Preferenced staff ministry gifts are treated as preferred for that staff member’s ministry activities while the Board retains legal discretion over funds.
- If a staff member transitions from GoTEN, remaining preferenced funds are reviewed by the Board and reallocated to best advance the mission.
- All uses of funds are reviewed for alignment with GoTEN’s mission, values, governing documents, and Standard Policies Manual.
Transparency
Documents are available upon request.
We gladly share Form 990s, financial statements, or a budget summary with individuals, churches, and partners who want to learn more.
