One of the oldest flagship programs of the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities (CCCC) is our esteemed accreditation program. Accreditation by the CCCC is a signal of trust and excellence. It shows that a charity upholds rigorous standards in governance, financial management, ethical fundraising, and Christian mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We regularly hear from many ministries that receive descriptions like the above and, in humility, say they feel their ministry is likely not eligible for accreditation. It\u2019s not that they aren\u2019t proud of the work of their ministry, but that they are unsure of whether they\u2019d \u201cmeet the standards\u201d. CCCC Accreditation is certainly built on standards, referred to as the Standards of Accountability, but they are designed not just for the largest or most mature organizations, but rather ministries of all sizes that can demonstrate how they are pursuing their mission with accountability and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, after achieving accreditation, some ministries admit it has been a goal of theirs for many years, but they did not take the first step due to a lack of readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is for these ministries that we created the Accreditation Readiness Assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accreditation Readiness Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While interested ministries are welcome to review the five standards<\/a> and 50+ indicators at any time, the readiness assessment is a free, 10-minute self-assessment that helps ministries determine whether they are ready to begin their official application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After submitting the assessment, your ministry will instantly receive a custom report generated from your responses to the questions. The report provides you with more than just a copy of your responses; it also includes a general recommendation on your readiness to start your application and links to further resources to assist you with areas that may need further development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of whether your team is ready to begin your application immediately or needs more time, our team is here to support you along the way, no matter how long your journey might be. In fact, we continue to journey alongside you even after your accreditation is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
