We will never resort to what we consider to be disrespectful or dishonorable methods of fund-raising, even when the needs are serious. We ask people not to support Focus on the Family or any other Christian program until their obligations to the local church have been met. We will not operate the ministry at a deficit. Although from time to time, for large capital expenditures, we will seek to repay the loans as soon as possible. Our obligation, therefore, is to spend money conservatively and wisely in continuing the ministry.
Every penny is stretched as far as possible to serve the needs of today's families.
We will receipt all donations, showing the fair market value of any materials requested and sent, in order to help contributors determine the tax-deductible portion of their gifts. When we make a purchase, we will pay the invoice within 30 days, if possible. We do not intend to use the vendor's money. We will not try to raise more money than we need. We will never sell or rent our mailing list to those wishing to use the names and addresses of our supporters.
