Let me explain now how you can get
the most out of your donation.
1) Credit Card Donors.
Our society loves the quick and efficient. Most donors will appreciate
being able to click a simple link, put in their info, and be done.
Donors love even more to set up an account to automatically donate on a
regular basis and forget about it. However, efficiency comes with a
price. Credit card companies make their money by charging fees to be
able to use this service. When a donor gives via credit or debit card,
you will see a 5% fee deducted from your support account for that
convenience.
2) Bank Draft Donors. In
order to reduce the fee for donations, we have added a Bank Draft
choice to your online giving. Donors can choose this option online and
then they may enter the information from the bottom of a check rather
than a credit card. By choosing this option, you will only see a 3% fee
deducted from your support account.
3) Written Check Donors.
One of the cheapest options is to have donors write a check or money
order and send that to Adventures In Missions, P.O. Box 534470, Atlanta,
GA 30353-4470. This sends the check directly to our bank where it is
deposited. The bank then sends an image of that check to our accounting
department to apply toward your support. There are no fees for checks
mailed this way. However, please allow 2 weeks from the date you mail
the check before you expect to see it in your support account. Also
please note that you cannot receive letters or any correspondence at
this address. It is only for checks or money orders.
4) DynaPay Donors. This
last option is to try and combine the convenient and cheap options as
best as possible. By signing up for DynaPay, a donation is automatically
deducted from a checking account each month with no fees. To sign up
for DynaPay, request a form by emailing [email protected]. Have your
donor fill out that form and return it signed with a voided check to
Adventures in Missions, Attn: Accounting, 6000 Wellspring Trail,
Gainesville, GA 30506. IMPORTANT: The
downside of DynaPay is that the donor MUST contact us in the office to
stop the automatic withdrawal when they no longer wish to keep giving.
DynaPay will continue to deduct each month unless the donor directly
says “Please cancel my donation now.” Should your donor sign up for this
option, please make sure they clearly understand that.
When speaking with donors, we recommend that you succinctly explain
each giving option, allowing them to choose which option works best for
them.
