What are MTW administrative fees?
All funds designated for a missionary or a missionary project are credited to that missionary or project account. The average administrative fee for missionaries is 6.1% and the fee for projects is 7.5%.
How are the administrative fees used?
The administrative fee helps pay part of the costs of providing support services to the missionaries. Support services include, but are not limited to, receiving and managing financial gifts; managing missionary salary and benefits package plans; reimbursement of ministry expenses; recruiting, training and shepherding missionaries; maintaining mailing lists; and other necessary administrative services.
This fee covers approximately 44% of the cost for these services. The remainder comes from Partnership Shares, donations and investment earnings. Partnership Shares are monies from PCA churches based on a dollar amount per church member as set by the General Assembly. Individual donors also contribute to the general fund which helps offset the administrative expenses.
How does MTW acknowledge my gifts?
Those making online donations will receive an email acknowledgement after the transaction has been completed.
For offline donations, Partner Financial Services sends an acknowledgement to each donor after a gift is received. Donors can request to receive this by mail or email. The acknowledgement will indicate if the gift is tax deductible or non-tax deductible in accordance with IRS regulations. Tax receipts are sent each January.
How is MTW held accountable for handling my gifts?
MTW operates under the authority of Committee on Mission to the World (CMTW) appointed by the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) General Assembly. We prepare financial statements that are audited annually by an independent audit firm. We use board-approved standard operating policies and procedures to assure the proper use of funds. MTW considers effective use of ministry resources a matter of stewardship responsibility before God and accuracy in reporting and fundraising to be a matter of integrity.
Mission to the World is an ECFA accredited organization.
What does MTW do with my name and address information?
MTW is committed to protect the identity of its partners. We do not share or rent our list of contributors or other parties with any other organization, including other committees and agencies of the PCA.
