My Nonprofit Reviews

IDES is always ready preparing for the next disaster. When disaster strikes they are the one of the first to respond. They always coordinate with local churches to get the help where needed. This saves them time to access where the help is needed most. The monies donated are used to the fullest. Volunteers are the key to their success with the donations by you.

I am the Missions Chair for my church. We set aside 25% of our general fund for mission support currently sending monthly checks to 22 different entities. We vet each mission and only support those with excellent stewardship of the funds they receive and have low administrative expense. IDES is an organization that provides services that any denomination or individual could back regardless of faith or belief. Although they are basically an independant Christian mission they do not discriminate against anyone regardless of their station in life. When disasters strike whether it be earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, tornado etc IDES is there many times before the bureaucratic organizations. If I had to pick just one disaster response team to support it would definitely be IDES.

As an elder and missionary chair we look to worthy missions. I.D.E.S. is by far one of the most efficient organizations I have known. We have sent support on a need basis from time to time. This year 2013 we pick I.D.E.S. for monthly support. Along with this we encourage members to take the fish banks and fill them. This has been well received. Our VBS project this year was I.D.E.S. with a good offering for 30 kids. The thing is this is an organization that has and can do great things. We are a small congregation but have been mission minded ever since we started. We tithe 25% of our general income to missions. Currently we have 25 missions we send support to. We look to what a mission is doing to earn our support. The fact that I.D.E.S. put the resources where they are needed and are quick to respond to disasters working through the local churches or missions in foreign countries. They are prepared and in many cases are on the way before the storm is over. The small amounts all add up. Many hands make for light work.

IDES to me is the foremost organization that does the most and gets the greatest results from their resources. My church and I support them on an ongoing basis. Their accountability is superb. I trust them with my dollars to get the greatest value when helping throughout the world in a multitude of disasters.
