Many charities, including churches and parachurch organizations, sponsor individuals that serve as domestic and international missionaries. Often, the deputized fundraising approach is used, in which a missionary or other worker is responsible for raising gifts to provide support to pay for part or all of the mission trip expenses. The proper handling of contributions raised and expended for missionaries often raises challenging tax, finance, and legal issues for missionaries and sending organizations alike. The administration of funds to support missionaries is an opportunity for churches and other charities to model excellence, integrity, and compliance with the law. This simple, how-to guide includes numerous examples and sample illustrations, starting with the various methods of deputized fundraising and the basic guidelines to follow for handling mission-related gifts. We trust this informative ECFA resource will be helpful to you and your organization as you serve the Kingdom through missions!
