Dear Pastors and Leaders,
We want to take a moment to share an important update for 2026 regarding Missional Investment Funding (MIF) and Foursquare corporate retirement funding—what’s changing, why it’s changing, and the simple steps your church needs to take in The Hub before March 31, 2026.
Why these changes are happening (the “heart” behind it)
Foursquare has always been a sending movement. We partner together to send people, resources and the gospel around the world. One of the most consistent ways we do that is through ongoing missions support that strengthens global workers, new works, training and disaster relief. These updated requirements are designed to keep us aligned with that shared mission and to build a steady foundation for global impact—not just occasional generosity, but a reliable rhythm of partnership.
This isn’t about “catching mistakes” or withholding funds. It’s about clarity, accountability and sustainability—so churches can move forward with confidence, and our mission can move forward with stability.
3 critical things to do before March 31, 2026
Please complete all three steps outlined below in The Hub by March 31, 2026. This is the cutoff for the July – December 2025 period and impacts the April 2026 disbursement cycle.
1) Open the MIF + Retirement Eligibility Dashboard and complete the required approval step
This is now a required part of the process. The dashboard will guide your designated users through what to review and what to submit. Access the MIF + Retirement Dashboard in the “Church Reports” menu of The Hub, and select the July – December 2025 period from the grid that displays.
2) Use the on-screen prompts to resolve any missing items that affect eligibility
The Hub will show you what’s missing and provide links to take action. Eligibility for MIF and corporate retirement funding is tied to full stewardship expectations (including tithing, missions giving, reporting and staying current on obligations). If your church is more than 60 days delinquent on insurance or loans, funds may be redirected to outstanding balances first.
3) Prepare for (and complete) retirement allocation in The Hub
Beginning February 1, 2026, churches will use this interface to allocate Foursquare corporate retirement funding to eligible employees in The Hub. To ensure this works smoothly and supports accountability, please make sure:
- Eligible employees/participants are in your church records in The Hub
- Your church council contact info has been loaded, so notifications can provide transparency and ensure bylaw compliance.
Important deadline
March 31, 2026, is the cutoff. If your church has not completed The Hub approval step—and does not meet the eligibility criteria—your church will not be eligible to receive MIF and corporate retirement funding for this cycle.
