Raising Support? You Don't Have to Do It Alone.
A free GoFundMe alternative for Christian missionaries — no fees, no cut of your donations. Ergatas connects you with new ministry partners.
Our passion is helping missionaries reach full funding and stay there. Whether you're just getting started or you need a boost, we want to help.
How do we help? We work hard to connect you with people who are already looking for a ministry like yours — by country, people group, sending organization, or even job skill.
What does it cost? Nothing. Creating a profile is free, and we never take a cut of your donations.
Be Discovered
Supporters search Ergatas for ministries they're passionate about. Your profile puts your ministry in front of people you'd never meet otherwise.
Keep 100%
No fees, no cut. Donations go straight to your agency (minus bank fees), designated for your support.
Build Relationships
Anonymous in-app messaging lets potential partners get to know you and your ministry before they commit.
