All contributions given through SEND International are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Cash or checks written and given directly to the missionary are not tax-deductible. Personal gifts to missionaries are not eligible for a tax-deductible receipt and must be sent directly to the missionary.
In the United States on average, 88% of the donation goes for sustaining the missionary financially. SEND International takes out the remaining 12% for administrative services. This money is used to provide training events for our missionaries, to give our missionaries the member care they deserve, and to sustain resources and the necessary infrastructure in their sending office.
SEND International has a budget for every missionary. Since SEND serves in many different countries and regions, the needs of each of our missionaries can be quite different. Individual missionary budgets are available on request from our office.
SEND is firmly committed to a high level of financial accountability and transparency as well as good stewardship before God and our partners.
The finances of SEND International of the US and SEND International of Canada are audited annually by independent auditors. The auditors' reports are available upon request. To receive a copy of the reports, please contact us.
