What International Commission Inc does
Mission
Equipping and enabling believers worldwide to conduct church-based evangelism projects to reach unbelievers and make disciples.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
For over 50 years, international commission has partnered with local churches to equip and enable believers worldwide to reach unbelievers and make disciples. Every evangelism project we conduct ensures that those with whom you share christ will be connected with believers in their area who will continue the long-term work of discipleship and evangelism after your team comes home. International projects were conducted in different countries of the world with american participants joining with host churches to share with friends and neighbors about the love of god.
$2,734,828 spent83% of program spendingNational-to-national (n2n) projects are a unique strategy of international commission to train, equip and enable nationals from outside of the united states to become effective "fishers of men and to make disciples in their own communities. Since the first n2n was conducted in 1992, local leaders worldwide have stated that an n2n project is one of the most effective strategies to reach unbelievers, make disciples, and grow churches. Powered by believers in local churches who share jesus. The effectiveness of n2n projects only continues to grow. The essence of n2n projects is training, equipping and enabling of a first generation to share christ with friends, family, and neighbors and disciple new believers. This generation then trains, equips and enables the next generation. It is one of the greatest stewardship opportunities for building the kingdom of god today. On average, an n2n project can be funded for what it costs to send one american overseas on a short-term international project. Both of these aspects of ministry - missions by nationals and missions with nationals - are the heartbeat of international commission and we are blessed to invite you to join us in the great…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $2.5M to $1.9M (−25%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $33k → $104k.
8 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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 INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 28% · 2019 33% · 2020 28% · 2021 25% · 2022 29% · 2023 51% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
70% of INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $599k 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. 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
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION INC's funding base is broadening — from 4 funders to 8 as grant income climbed.
