The Undesignated GCF is a general fund that supports all the work of The Alliance including Alliance Missions, Church Ministries, National Office administration and global support services, and district oversight.

The majority of the Undesignated GCF goes to Alliance Missions and enables hundreds of workers to care for the physical and spiritual needs of lost, hurting, and disenfranchised people in over 65 countries. These ministries help create access to the gospel where little to no access yet exists. It is a global fund that empowers leaders and workers to be nimble and responsive—walking through doors God may suddenly open into some of the most spiritually impoverished regions on the earth. 

This provides support at different levels to workers with all four Alliance Missions structures: aXcess (church planting focus), CAMA (relief and development focus), Envision (leadership development focus), and marketplace ministries (business as missions focus). (Learn more at https://cmalliance.org/our-work/alliance-missions/)

Note:  Annually there are two special giving opportunities that provide significant funding for the undesignated GCF.  These are Great Commission Day (April-June) and the Year End or Christmas Offering.  These special offerings yield resources to provide gospel access for people who need to know Jesus.

2. The Designated GCF

 Designated GCF funds are gifts given in the name of a specific worker or project, or in the case of CAMA, a structure. (Learn more about CAMA designated giving at https://camaservices.org/ )

When you give to a worker, you simply give in their name and it goes into a “pool” for that worker to use as needed. These funds are used for that specific worker’s compensation, strategic needs (personal or ministry), outfit (home set up), and vehicle. In the past you had to designate which of these areas you wanted to support, but that is no longer the case.

When you give to a specific project, you simply give in the name of that project. Field-approved special projects facilitate ministry through church planting, evangelism, education, leadership development, relief, and building projects to name a few.

Note: Once a project has been fully funded, excess funds will be released back to the Organization to use where most needed. If a worker has excess funds at the end of the year and the undesignated GCF is low on funds, funds may flow back into the undesignated GCF to help offset the cost of the designated worker.
