Our vision is a world where all people know Jesus Christ and His love.
CCUSA partners with national nonprofits that can meet or exceed a standard of excellence for public accountability. Each charity that partners with CCUSA submits its program and financial documents for annual review and certification.
Since 1997, Christian Charities USA has helped national faith-based nonprofits expand their reach and engage with individuals like you. The donations given to CCUSA have been used to fund orphanages, support missionaries, protect persecuted Christian communities, print and distribute Bibles, deliver food and medicine, build homes, and minister Christ’s love through many good works.
We use contributions faithfully and wisely, in accordance with our mission of meeting critical needs in ways that honor donors’ wishes.
Although all our nonprofit partners must have programs or services in at least 15 states or internationally, many of our partners are not household names. We are proud to work with nonprofits of any size and aim to provide a place where individuals can learn about the good work of lesser known organizations.
Christian Charities USA is committed to meeting the highest standards of public accountability and fiscal responsibility.
We are governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors who generously give their time and talent.
