What Christians for Biblical Equality does
Mission
See schedule o.Christians for Biblical Equality (cbe), www.cbeinternational.org, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization comprised of individuals, churches, colleges, seminaries, and organizations, representing more than 100 different denominations in 214 countries and territories. Cbe advances the biblical foundation for the equal dignity, authority, and leadership of males and females in church, home, and society. Cbe's events, publications, website, bookstore, local chapters, and partnerships educate global communities on the bible's call for all christians, male and female, to develop and exercise their god-given gifts for leadership and service with equal authority and responsibility and with the full support of their faith communities. Research shows that when a culture equally values and extends equal authority and opportunities to males and females, these communities experience lower incidents of female abuse and are more economically viable.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

When women are given a voice, they often speak prophetically and confidently, declaring the gospel that they were previously unable to fully express.

The humility, grace, and love that is evident in everything you do has been refreshing to my soul and my new quest is to educate as many people as possible about your mission."as the only nonprofit organization dedicated to exposing sexist interpretations of scripture, cbe promotes scripture's teachings for a…

The event brought together more than 300 christians from across the globe including canada, mexico, serbia, great britain, and asia for a powerful weekend of worship, communion, and learning. Attendees included students, couples, and professionals in secular and ministry fields. Significantly, it also attracted more than twenty attendees from asia: mostly staff members of an international college campus ministry that had been complementarian until recently. Their leadership is working to provide educational opportunities in egalitarian theology.the wide range of lectures proved both thoughtful and inspiring. Newcomers to cbe soaked in biblical and historical materials at their own pace, while seasoned egalitarians engaged with deeper, more challenging scholarship.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $687k to $1.0M (+47%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $390k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states 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.
