For Ministries
Be surfaced on merit, not noise.
Apply to Converge and earn a Converge IQ Score — a trust-and-impact rating measured against a fixed, published standard. Be discovered by givers whose calling already aligns with your work.
Apply as a ministryThe problem
Cold outreach burns the time you don't have.
Grant-writing and mass appeals flatten every ministry into sameness and reward the loudest, not the most trustworthy. Converge surfaces you on aligned interest — measured against a transparent, public standard — so the right givers find you.
The Converge IQ Score
Measured against a standard, not your neighbor.
Apply to Converge and earn a Converge IQ Score — measured against a fixed, published standard of six pillars covering both holistic organizational health and project-level impact.
The six pillars · weighted out of 1,000
Program Effectiveness & Impact
Does the program actually work, and is the evidence credible?
Financial Health & Stewardship
Is the organization financially sound and efficient?
Governance & Accountability
Is there real oversight and transparency?
Organizational Strength & Sustainability
Can this team deliver, and will the impact last?
Story & Donor Communication
Is the narrative compelling and donor-ready?
Mission & Faith Alignment
Is it Christ-centered and aligned with NCF?
Ministries never pay to be scored — so the rating can't be bought. You're measured against the standard, not against your neighbor.
Included with membership
Membership includes formation.
Every ministry membership includes trust-building and stewardship resources for your leaders, scoped to the six pillars of the Converge IQ Score — strengthen the standard you're measured against, at no extra cost. Because trustworthy work flows from formed leaders.
