What they do
MICHAEL FRANZESE MINISTRIES (MFM) WAS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR RELIGIOUS CHARITABLE PURPOSES. MFMS PRIMARY ACTIVITIES ARE TO REACH OUT TO AT-RISK YOUTH, SHARE WITH THEM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO BECOME PART OF A LOCAL CHURCH OR YOUTH GROUP. THE NAME OF THE MINISTRY COMES FROM THE WELL DOCUMENTED LIFE OF MICHAEL FRANZESE, FORMERLY INVOLVED IN ORGANIZED CRIME, WHO CAME TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WHILE IN PRISON AND HIS RESULTING JOURNEY OF CONVERSION FROM A LIFE OF MOB VIOLENCE TO ONE OF MINISTRY AND FAITH. MICHAELS COMPELLING AND GRIPPING TESTIMONY WILL BE UTILIZED TO MAKE A CONNECTION WITH THESE CHALLENGED, ABUSED AND OVERLOOKED YOUNG PEOPLE AND INMATES
Should I give to this charity?
Basic public information is available, but it is not enough to judge how well donations are used. Ask the charity for a current spending breakdown and results.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
