“Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required,
and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more”
- Luke 12:48

Financial Structure

Casa Bernabé Ministries is supported and governed by two legal entities, each with their own Board of Directors:

• Fundación Protectora del Nino Huérfano (FUNPRONI), the Guatemalan entity

• Friends of Children Everywhere (FOCE), the U.S. entity

The entities operate through a Joint Ministry Agreement, which lays out the expectations for both Boards–how they interact with one another as well as their unique roles and responsibilities for supporting and protecting Casa Bernabé.

The FUNPRONI Board is responsible for all the legal and operating aspects of Casa Bernabé in Guatemala. They are tasked with naming the General Director of Casa Bernabé, as well as the President of the Board, acting as Legal Representative for the children at Casa Bernabé (based on
Guatemalan law requiring a foundation’s Board President to also serve in this role). This Board oversees the general operations of Casa Bernabé Ministries, meeting regularly to ensure everything is operating correctly and efficiently.

FOCE in turn is responsible for all of the U.S. side of operations for Casa Bernabé. This primarily means raising funds in the U.S., providing a legal and safe way for donors to donate in the U.S., while also providing year-end giving reports and tax-exempt receipts. FOCE is also responsible for preparing and sending missionaries and teams to support Casa Bernabe Ministries. The FOCE Board serve as advisors for both the FUNPRONI Board and the Casa Bernabé team, and the three groups work together to make strategic decisions for the future of the ministry. All of Casa Bernabe’s U.S. giving comes through Friends of Children Everywhere, a registered 501(c)3, overseen by its Board of Directors.
