Mission Aviation Fellowship operates one of the most cost-effective ministries in the mission world, yet one of the most expensive. The tools we use are some of the costliest: airplanes and related infrastructure, satellite technology, computers, and HF/VHF radio networks. Because of this, many assets are represented on the financial statement. When comparing MAF’s asset position to that of other mission organizations, the capital-intensive nature of the aviation services MAF provides must be considered.
MAF receives its income primarily from contributions (78 percent) and fees for services (21 percent). Essentially all revenue for services is generated outside the United States, primarily in Africa and Asia. Mission Aviation Fellowship is a not-for-profit organization exempt from federal income taxes and under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
