Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The mission of Perception Funding is to serve our ministry partners in order to grow the Kingdom of God. We do this by teaching them how to engage donors effectively and assisting them in their fundraising efforts.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Perception Funding teaches Christian-based organizations how to engage donors effectively and assisting them in their fundraising efforts.

  • GiveDignity is a project based in Costa Rica that helps restore the dignity of those living in marginalized communities through holistic development initiatives to support employment, education and prevention of abuse and human trafficking.

    Expenses $140,266 · Revenue $153,815

  • Living Missions Peru is a Peruvian project coordinating short-term missions projects to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the people of Peru. They partner with a dozen different churches, schools and clinics to help meet their needs. They also lead churches from the United States to come and serve along side them.

  • VIANOVA aims to have a significant impact on sharing the Gospel of Jesus with all people in Belgium and all around the world. We believe one of the best ways to do this is planting more Churches that are led by relational, local, community-focused pastors with experience in mentoring and disciplining people in the way of Jesus.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
