Belief Together

What Belief Together does

Believe Together, Inc. is a US-based Christian nonprofit (501(c)(3)) founded in 2012 and headquartered at P.O. Box 92, Creston, Iowa. The organization functions as a fundraising and donor-relations bridge connecting US Christian donors to in-country mission partners, with its operations concentrated on Guatemala. Its stated vision is to eradicate poverty through education, spiritual growth, health, and community outreach programs, executed by partnering with local like-minded organizations to fulfill a biblical mandate to help the poor.

The company's core product is a Child Sponsorship Program priced at $30 per month, under which US sponsors fund the education of underprivileged children in Guatemala City at Colegio Vida, a Christian school serving low-income families. Beyond sponsorship, Believe Together runs general donation programs (one-time and recurring) and channels broader support to its primary implementing partner, El Faro, a Guatemalan-based Christian organization that works with 22 villages, the coastal town of Puerto Barrios, and the National Children's Hospital, collectively serving approximately 50,000 people. Distribution is direct-to-donor via a self-serve online portal (Neon CRM), with marketing through Facebook, Instagram, email, and the believe-together.org website.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription-recurring revenue (child sponsorships) and one-time/recurring charitable donations, with no disclosed financial figures, no headcount data, and no public funding rounds. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no disclosed executive team; the entity operates as a small, faith-mission-driven nonprofit whose competitive position rests on its long-standing El Faro and Colegio Vida relationships and its tax-exempt status enabling US tax-deductible giving.
