Accountability
The Bible is our standard in both our personal lives and how we operate Read the Puritans. That means integrity and transparency isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Our Model
A Direct-to-Donor Approach
We’ve chosen a simpler, more honest model: no middlemen — just you and us.
Common Challenges
Over time, many organizations add layers of oversight that often:
- Divert significant funds away from the mission
- Drift from their original purpose
We’re Doing Things Differently
- If you have a question, you ask — we answer.
- Within legal bounds, we’ll provide whatever information you request.
- We believe this is better stewardship, clearer communication, and ultimately more trustworthy.
Transparency
What You Can Expect
We believe trust is earned through openness, clarity, and accessible information.
Full Financial Transparency
Our website will always include:
- Current budget details
- Financial reports and filings
- Tax documents and proof of tax-exempt status
Accessible Information
Everything you need is available—no barriers, no gatekeeping.
Third-Party Visibility
We are pursuing Candid accreditation, providing recognized transparency standards without diverting funds away from the mission.
Our Approach to Fundraising
At RTP, we focus on one project at a time. This directly affects how we approach fundraising. Many non-profits raise as many funds as they can in order to do as many programs as possible. Our model is different. We aim for quality over quantity. By focusing on one project at a time, we prevent mission drift and can more easily connect our donors with specific projects. When we identify a project, we conduct all the planning and communicate the cost to our donors along with the expected impact. Only once the funds are raised do we start the project. For our regular operating budget, we rely on the generosity of a few donors. By separating our operations budget from the projects, all of the donations that come in for a project go 100% to that project. No overhead. Just the project.
Documents and Filings
No layers. No confusion. Just clarity.
When you give, you see exactly where it goes.
A Note on ECFA Accreditation
We know some donors look for ECFA accreditation during their research. At this time, we’ve chosen not to pursue it for one primary reason: Stewardship.
ECFA accreditation comes with a minimum annual cost that, at our current size, would take a meaningful portion of our budget away from the mission itself.
We believe those funds are better used advancing the work directly—especially when we are already committed to providing full transparency to our donors.
