Reliability Tier3
A tertiary encyclopedic reference for organizational founding and structure facts; treated at the same tier as other Wikipedia-sourced organization and denomination citations already live in this database. NotesTertiary reference, read directly for this entry. States Tearfund was founded in 1968 under the name The Evangelical Alliance Relief Fund Committee, created by the Evangelical Alliance to receive and distribute charitable donations it had been getting from supporters rather than continuing to forward them to existing agencies; the name was later shortened to TEAR Fund and then Tearfund. Names George Hoffman, a former curate, as a founder and the charity's first head, and states it was registered as a charity in 1973. Reliability tier 3: a tertiary encyclopedia reference, used here only for uncontested founding-history detail that does not conflict with the organization's own Charity Commission filing.
