INDIA GOSPEL LEAGUE (CANADA) INC.

What INDIA GOSPEL LEAGUE (CANADA) INC. does

India Gospel League (Canada) Inc. is the Canadian affiliate of India Gospel League, an indigenous, Bible-centered Christian nonprofit headquartered operationally in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India, with a North American 501(c)(3) support office in Hudson, Ohio, and an active footprint across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The organization delivers holistic community transformation across three program pillars: Caring for Children (Love One More sponsorship program, Children's Gospel Clubs, Children's Wellness Center), Caring for the Poor (micro-credit loans, livestock provision, sewing machines, adult literacy, family housing, skills training), and Caring for the Sick (Sharon Community Hospital in Salem, mobile medical camps, surgeries, wheelchairs, and the Sharon Palliative Care Center). All program delivery is human-service-based; no proprietary technology platforms or software systems are described in source materials, and operations rely on distributed networks of church leaders, houseparents, and field staff embedded across more than 90,000 South Asian villages.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through donations and sponsorships rather than commercial sales. The organization runs a self-service online giving portal at give.iglworld.org with recurring monthly sponsorships at tiered price points ($35/month per child, $50/month for Bible students, $50/month for Women with a Mission leaders, $100 per pastor for two-year income subsidies) and one-time unit-priced projects ranging from $5 adult literacy training to $550 medical camps, $600 cows, and higher-value surgery and housing packages. Distribution is direct-to-donor through the website, twice-monthly Field & Prayer email newsletters, and mission trip pipelines that convert trip participants into long-term recurring donors. Geographic reach spans South Asia with donor cultivation primarily in North America, and financial accountability is reinforced by ECFA membership, a 4-star Charity Navigator rating, and BBB accreditation, with a publicly committed 85% program / 15% overhead allocation.

Governance is provided by an independent North American board of pastors and business professionals including a President (S. Stephens), Chairman (Jim Lyon), Vice Chairman (Claude Robold), Treasurer (Paul Wides), and Secretary (Todd Muller), with operational staff covering marketing, regional field direction, development, finance and administration, sponsorship and partner care, bookkeeping, and publications. No headcount growth, revenue figures, or fundraising rounds are disclosed.
