2. Can I make a monthly pledge?
Yes, you can set up an automatic monthly donation online or you can fulfil your pledge by mailing a check each month. When we receive your gift each month, we'll mail a receipt. The receipt will include a reminder for your next gift and a pre-addressed envelope.
3. Does Adventures In Missions accept gifts of stock?
YES. If you are interested in donating stock, please contact our broker directly. Click here for broker information.
4. Is my donation tax-deductible?
Adventures In Missions is registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Donors will receive receipts for their gifts with the understanding that the disbursement of those gifts lies completely at the discretion of Adventures In Missions and that the gifts are non-refundable and non-transferable, per IRS regulations. Gifts may be tax deductible; please consult a tax advisor.
5. Will I receive a receipt for my gift?
Yes, you will receive a receipt via regular US mail within one to two weeks. In addition, you will receive a year-end statement showing all gifts for the year.
6. I'm not sure how to designate my gift - can you help?
We suggest that you give to the AIM General Fund. This enables us as an organization to use your gift where it is most needed. Please feel free to call or e-mail the Donor Relations Team for more assistance.
7. What does it mean that staff 'raise support?'
Each staff member is expected to raise funds from family, friends, and churches to cover the cost of their salary. Gifts are given directly to the organization, making them tax-deductible. Our staff are thus encouraged to depend on God and his faithfulness to provide for their needs.
8. What accountability is in place to ensure the integrity of Adventures In Missions?
AIM is governed by a Board of Directors which meets semi-annually to review the organization and its ministry. In addition, AIM is a member in good standing with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. You can view our most recent Financial Statement here.
9. I have more questions or need more information.
We would be happy to talk with you or correspond with you. Please contact us by phone at 1-800-881-2461 or by e-mail to donorrelations@adventures.org
10. Is there a maximum amount for online donations?
The maximum amount for credit card donations is $5000. There is no limit on the size of a bank draft donation.
11. My company offers Matching Gifts; how do these get processed?
Send us any forms or information requests for matching gift companies and we will be happy to assist in this process.
12. Will AIM accept a gift for a third party?
AIM cannot accept financial or non-financial contributions of any amount for third party organizations or individuals, nor can AIM act as an intermediary for another organization in dispensing funds. AIM cannot accept responsibility for administering or distributing such funds, or issue a receipt to the donor.
AIM can only accept gifts to AIM and its related ministries or personnel. Gifts of all kinds, financial and non-financial alike, can be contributed to AIM or designated for AIM staff support.
13. Is your website secure?
Yes, we use Rapid SSL and your information is encrypted.
