Updated Policy on Designated Funds
The Executive Board adopted the following policy for handling designated funds. They recognized you faced hardship and a challenge when designated gifts arrived at the missions agency, which were unsolicited and unexpected.
Here is the new policy for handling designated funds:
-
-
- Unsolicited Designated Funds: When a donor sends a designated unsolicited gift, we will process the gift as a regular gift. We will process the gift as unrestricted funds.
- Solicited Designated Funds: We will follow donor intent when a missionary solicits funds for a project. All solicited projects need to be approved by the Executive Board. This agency has complete control of the donated funds and discretion regarding their use.
-
Reminders:
-
-
- We will make you aware of designations in the memo field of your support list.
- We can only accept designated funds for WWNTBM missionaries.
- We cannot receive funds designated as “national support” or funds designated as gifts for adult children of our missionaries (age 18 and older).
-
Tax Filing Information
The deadline this year to file taxes for most taxpayers is Tuesday, April 18. If you have not yet contacted your tax preparer about filing your taxes, you need to do so as soon as possible. Failure to file on time, even if you are unable to pay on time, can result in additional penalties and interest. Individuals can receive an extension of the filing deadline, but please note that if taxes are owed, interest on those payments will begin as of April 18 even if you are not required to file until later in the year. All missionaries with WWNTBM are responsible to file their own taxes. If the office can assist in providing paperwork to your preparer on your behalf, please let us know.
Financial Status Report
We will upload a Financial Status Report to your SecureCloud account in coming days, showing figures for the first quarter of 2023. This is meant to show you the financial details that we have on file, such as your support estimate and the average amount of support you received this past quarter. This is information we provide to pastors who may call about your ministry. We ask that all missionaries update their support estimate once every four years, or as their lives and ministries change. Please review this information and contact us if you have any questions.
