What Education Fellowship Initiative does
Mission
Provide current and aspiring pastors worldwide with training and education in biblical literacy and foundational theology
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Assisting with construction of seminary in Liberia This includes building educational facilities, providing intensive teaching and pastoral care, and supplying scholarly resources in the native language of the students Pastoral training in our facilities primarily occurs at night, several times a week. When not being used for training, the facility supports four income sources that generate revenue and positively impact the local economy. This includes employing 50 local individuals to administer a concrete plant, a bakery, and a coffee shop. Buildings are managed by indigenous pastors and owned by a local nonprofit organization once construction is completed.
Establishing a teaching program in Liberia related to seminary training The core mission of EFI starts with opening schools We support aspiring pastors by giving them access to a degree of education that has not been available to them in their area before. To do this we partner with local seminary trained pastors who are called by the Lord to invest in other pastors, teach them, and disciple them so that the concept of a school complex can be built around that individual. EFI will make several investments in regional pastors after a school has been constructed Specific to our school in Libera, EFI will foster other ministries focused on child literacy, economic renewal, and leadership training, as well as a children's ministry with playgrounds.
Church partner investment and education Part of what we do on the US side is take the time to help a church establish a missions programs if they do not have one already We are in the process of doing this for three of our partner churches
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $82k to $210k (+156%).
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.
100% of EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP INITIATIVE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP INITIATIVE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP INITIATIVE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k 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.
Against its field
EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP INITIATIVE runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 7,850 religion nonprofits its size.
