What Agape Fish Fund Inc does
Mission
The organizational purpose of the Agape Fish Fund, Inc. is to connect individuals, communities, and churches in the West with promising Christian poverty alleviation ministries in East Asia, and in doing so foster a sustainable NGO ecosystem and philanthropic spirit among the Christian community. Through our support we hope to provide these organizations with the resources they need in order to successfully implement their own goals and as a result better serve their target populations.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In partnership with Southeast Asian Prayer Center, we provided 4 children in Cambodia with a Christian home. In partnership with the Vietnamese C&MA church, we provided food, Bible memorization activities, and discipleship for 100 Vietnamese prisoners and detainees in Taipei, Taiwan.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $206 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
