Impact Through Partnership
At Concentric, we believe that cooperative partnership is an expression of the varied giftedness within the Church. We seek to honor God by providing catalytic funding that will spur the advancement of Kingdom endeavors.
Because Concentric and its trustees desire to serve as wise stewards of the resources God has entrusted to them, the following guidelines have been established to govern our disbursement of funds, all in order to increase the probability of facilitating the greatest possible impact.

Concentric will work with those organizations that have:
- A PROVEN TRACK RECORD // We will seek to bring lift to those organizations that have been in existence for at least 3 - 5 years.
- A PROVEN HISTORY OF EFFECTIVENESS // We will partner with those organizations that have already demonstrated their capacity to make an impact for Christ and His Kingdom.
- A CAPACITY FOR LASTING IMPACT // We value lasting impact over quick, short term, activity. Therefore, preference of investment will be given to partners with initiatives that have the greatest potential for lasting long-term impact.
- A STRUCTURE FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY // We will work with those partners who have exhibited wise financial practices as established by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (EFCA) in their Standards of Responsible Stewardship.
