Accountability
We maintain a high level of accountability to our partners, the government and our constituents. Please contact us if you need more information.
501(c)(3)
Fishhook International is a legally recognized nonprofit organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We file Form 990 with the IRS each year. In order to be transparent to our constituents, it is our policy to make our Form 990 readily available. Please call (859.215.0178) or email (info@fishhook.org) to receive a copy of our most recent Form 990.
Standards
To ensure our financial accountability, we are a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). ECFA standards cover the areas of Doctrinal Statement, Board of Directors and Financial Oversight, Financial Statements, Use of Resources, Financial Disclosure, Conflicts of Interest, and Fund-Raising. View the full description of ECFA’s Standards. View Fishhook’s ECFA status.
One ECFA requirement is that an annual audit, review or compilation is performed by a certified public accountant and is reviewed by our board of directors. Any necessary corrective actions are monitored by the board’s Audit Committee.
Our Partners
Our partners in India sent us their annual audit each year. Our board members also visit them several times each year to encourage them in their work and bring personal updates back to their supporters in the United States.
