How to give to World-Wide Missions

Your gifts can help!

The generous contributions of individuals who are concerned about the spiritual and physical welfare of needy people around the world make these vital ministries possible.

Your gifts help provide the following:

Financial support for indigenous missionaries involved in evangelism and church planting in 32 nations around the world

A home and care for abandoned or abused children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador, India, South Korea and the Philippines

Feeding centers for needy children in Bolivia, the Congo, El Salvador, Haiti, Jordan and the U.S.

Medical clinics in Bolivia, Liberia, El Salvador and Taiwan

Emergency relief for war refugees in Jordan, Liberia and Ivory Coast

Christian schools in El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, India, Liberia and Kenya

Distribution of Bibles and Christian literature around the world

Staff salaries, office rental and supplies

A crucial role in the harvest

God’s will has always been that His people would join hands and work together as partners with Him. Our missionaries and nationals are laboring for Christ in ways that you and I cannot. But we still have a crucial role in the harvest, supporting them with our prayers and gifts.

To continue their vital ministries, many national Christian leaders have to work full-time at other jobs to provide for their families. Some are pleading for further training to make their ministries even more effective. Others need help to buy Bibles and Christian literature, vehicles, fuel and other supplies for their work. You can help relieve some of these heavy burdens by sponsoring a dedicated indigenous missionary.

Your gifts are tax-deductible

World-Wide Missions is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. We fully support ECFA’s purposes and prominently display its seal to indicate our compliance with its high standards. Your gifts are tax-deductible. An audited financial statement, including description of support services, is available upon request.

General donations

General donations are a vital part of WWM’s ability to offer hope and love and the message of the gospel to needy people worldwide. Anyone can make a general donation to World-Wide Missions by writing a check or money order and mailing it to our mailing address shown at the top of the page.

Gifts of stock

There are two significant benefits to you, the donor, in making this kind of gift. In most instances, you are entitled to deduct the full market value of the stock from your taxes. You also can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciated securities.

How do I make a gift of stock to World-Wide Missions? 

Either you or your broker contact World-Wide Missions to inform us of your intention of making a gift of stocks. We will ask you to provide the following information:

Your name, address and telephone number
The name(s) of the stock that you are donating
The number of shares being donated

The simplest way to give a gift of stock to World-Wide Missions is through your broker. Most brokers can transfer the stock directly to World-Wide Missions. We will provide your broker with the needed information to make the transfer. If you prefer to send the actual stock certificate, please contact World-Wide Missions as well as your broker before sending the certificates since donation of stock certificates requires a special form to ensure that the transfer is accomplished correctly.

If you have stock that has gone down in value, you can still support World-Wide Missions. To maximize your benefit, sell the stock and contribute the proceeds to World-Wide Missions. In most cases, you can then receive a tax deduction and a capital loss deduction. To ensure that you qualify for this program, please consult your financial advisor on all tax-related matters.

Planned giving

There are numerous planned gift options that can have profound tax implications benefitting both your estate and World-Wide Missions. We strongly encourage you to consult with a financial advisor and/or tax attorney.

Below is a list of some of the options for planned giving:

Outright gifts
Bequests
Annuities
IRA, 401(k) and 403(b) designations
Life insurance gifts
Gifts of real estate, tangible and intangible items
