Our mission
Founded in 2022, Godly Money is an educational platform that operates according to Biblically Responsible Investing principles. Our mission is to help Christians of all denominations make faith-aligned financial decisions, fostering stewardship that honors God.
Faith statement
Invest with purpose
Every dollar we invest is a way to glorify God by supporting businesses that reflect biblical teachings.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31
Care for creation
We are divinely mandated stewards of the environment, and as caretakers of the Earth, we must responsibly manage our resources.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” – Psalm 24:1
Act in the best interests of those we serve
We are committed to making decisions that prioritize the well-being and spiritual growth of the people we teach.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.” – Philippians 2:3
Promote justice and human dignity
We favour companies that uphold human dignity and avoid those that exploit or harm others, prioritizing justice and fairness.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” – Proverbs 31:8
Steward God’s resources
We teach people to manage what they have been given responsibly, as faithful stewards — in ways that are both fruitful and aligned with biblical ethics.
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” – Luke 16:10
Champion Christian values
We highlight companies that promote integrity, compassion, and righteousness, embodying Christ’s teachings in the business world.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” – Matthew 6:33
Avoid unethical industries
We teach screening away from industries that profit from harm.
“Avoid every kind of evil.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Value life
We uphold the sanctity of life, supporting organizations that protect life from conception to natural death.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” – Psalm 139:13
Maintain transparency
We ensure full transparency in all our dealings, honoring the biblical call for honesty.
“We are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.” – 2 Corinthians 8:21
Reject exploitative practices
We refuse to support companies that exploit the vulnerable, favouring businesses that promote justice and serve the greater good.
“The righteous care about justice for the poor.” – Proverbs 29:7
Who we are
