TRUST ONLY GOD

Who can you trust? Bottom line, ONLY GOD. That’s why RREACH pursues His wisdom and empowerment for aboveboard ministry stewardship. Every gift comes from God through His precious people for the vision and mission He has set before us. What does that mean for you as a partner with Ramesh Richard as he proclaims God’s Word wide and deep?Watch this space for insights and examples of how RREACH practices aboveboard financial stewardship, only by God’s grace and for His glory!

ACCOUNTABILITY

RREACH seeks broad transparency by submitting our financial statements and operating practices to governmental and nonprofit oversight groups in the U.S. Here are some integrity touchpoints:

State of Texas – Incorporated in the State of Texas on May 7, 1987, RREACH has maintained its incorporation in good standing and without any issue since that time.
United States Internal Revenue Service – The IRS recognized RREACH as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization beginning in May 1988. We have maintained this status in good standing since that time. As such, RREACH can accept tax-deductible donations.
The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability – The ECFA is an accrediting and accountability organization overseeing not-for-profit organizations. RREACH has maintained membership in good standing since 1990, which requires annually submitting documentation affirming our adherence to high standards for proper stewardship of donations.
Charity Navigator – This organization rates charitable organizations based on their use of resources, granting 1–4 stars based on performance. RREACH has maintained a 4-star rating since 2013 with a 100% score for Accountability and Transparency. In April this year Charity Navigator noted, “Only 5% of the charities we evaluate have received at least 9 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Ramesh Richard Evangelism and Church Health outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Ramesh Richard Evangelism and Church Health apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”
Guidestar – In 2013, this organization began rating charitable organizations as bronze, silver, gold or platinum annually based on their use of resources. RREACH has maintained a platinum rating since that time.
Excellence in Giving / Intelligent Philanthropies – This entity analyzes a charitable organization’s outcomes and effectiveness in activities and makes recommendations to major donors. RREACH has been a participating member since 2013.

We praise God for these affirmations of His goodness and faithfulness!

AUDITS

Think of it like checking the condition of your car before a trip or inspecting a home before buying it. An audit assesses the trustworthiness of how an organization operates.

Openness to responsible scrutiny and clean financial policies form the core of RREACH’s financial stewardship practices. Each year we invite an audit by a CPA firm that focuses its entire practice and expertise in the not-for-profit sector.
One example of RREACH’s diligence in keeping careful records: our ENLARGE Fund, which provides temporary, specific relief for pastors' families in desperate need. The ENLARGE Fund operates through trusted pastoral training graduates on location who identify needs, distribute funds and obtain a receipt for every transaction. God provides the facilitators and means of facilitation!

ACCESSIBILITY

RREACH views each gift as a sacred stewardship of trust. We work to secure maximum impact from each dollar. We select projects and apply funds to achieve enduring and expanding results throughout the world.
In practical terms, we call it lean, nimble and wise. Lean in terms of administrative overhead and expenses, such as using donated offices/furniture, planning multi-functional trips, reusing materials, pooling mailings, recruiting volunteer workers, and more. Nimble in terms of making quick decisions about strategic global opportunities. And these two concepts align with our major objective to wisely move money as quickly and widely as possible to deliver spiritual health worldwide.

AFFORDABILITY

RREACH knows that money is costly to givers. Gifts represent sacrifice. We scout the world for the best investment value within our vision and mission.
For example, the end cost for one pastoral leader trained through our GProCommission efforts totals less than US $315. In our most recent Web-based evangelism campaign, the cost per engagement was US $0.002. That makes the process “affordable” for both the donor and beneficiary, in God’s economy of abundance.
In addition, 100% of all designated gifts go to the designated projects. If an occasional project is over-subscribed, we offer later donors of designated gifts the option to apply their money toward another strategic project or receive it back.

ALL GOD'S GLORY

What RREACH does to reach into large numbers of desperate souls with lasting solutions comes from and takes place through ONLY GOD. God is the inventor and driver of the RREACH vehicle of ministry. He provides the fuel by connecting us with the pump of the donor He has blessed.
Would you praise God with us for all that He has done? And pray with us that Ramesh Richard and RREACH will continue to operate aboveboard—with integrity, openness, faithfulness, efficiency and excellence—to accomplish His vision for us: to change the way One Billion Individuals think and hear about the Lord Jesus, to the glory of the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
