How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

The Belize Project began out of Christ Presbyterian Church about 16 years ago when the church was looking for an English-speaking country close to Nashville that could be a location for short-term mission trips. Mac Kelton, a local entrepreneur went on a trip and caught a vision for a ministry there and began traveling down several times a year and taking different folks with him with various backgrounds. From there, many people from around the country joined the vision to start work on various missions....farms, fish farms, rehab, prison ministry, schools, churches, church leader training, education training, micro-lending, etc. The Belize Project empowers people through restoration and wholeness for the glory of Christ.

The names, titles, and financial information shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records. More

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown. A filing can only be corrected by the organization filing an amended return with the IRS; the corrected information appears here at our next update.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing, and less than the filing contains. Our pages do not display home addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, contact the filing organization or the IRS directly.

All figures come from public IRS Form 990 filings. Comparisons are computed from the filing against similar orgs. They are not a rating.
