Here's all the ins and outs of making a donation to support me on The World Race. If you have ANY QUESTIONS, please contact me. There is a lot of information, but it is all relevant and helpful, exactly what you need to know. 🙂

Important Information Regarding Donations

General Tax Information, Incorporation, Gifts in Kind

  • Donations made to Adventures in Missions are tax deductible based on the policies and principles located at www.adventures.org/policies.  Please contact your tax advisor for more information.

  • Do NOT send checks to the Adventures headquarters located in Gainesville, GA. 
  • Do NOT post date checks.  If a post dated check is sent in, it will be processed.  If there are insufficient funds in the account both Adventures and the donor will be charged a fee from the bank.
  • Checks may take up to two weeks to be processed.
  • It is BEST if a donor sends in a Fundraising/Support card with donation.
  • If a check is written out to a participant rather than to Adventures in Missions, these checks cannot be processed and will be returned. 

          3.Donating Online

  • A donor may be directed to donate online through a participant’s blog.
  • Online donations by credit/debit card will be subject to a 3% processing fee.  Bank drafts will be subject to a 2% processing fee.
  • Online donations can take 3-5 days to process.
  • A donor may set up a reoccurring donation through this option. The donor will be prompted to select a start date and an end date for their donations. The donations will automatically stop at the end date, if one is selected.
  • IMPORTANT: All donors need to STOP their reoccurring donations after the participant’s 6th month on the field.  Any donations made after the 6th month will NOT be counted towards the final deadline.

         4.Donating with Dynapay

  • Dynapay is an option for donating through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which allows a donor to set up a monthly donation through the donor’s personal checking account.
  • Donors are unable to make a one-time only donation through Dynapay; this is strictly for reoccurring donations.
  • A donor can set up their reoccurring donation by going to the following website https://www.adventures.org/dynapay and completing the required fields.
  • Donations through Dynapay typically take 1-2 weeks to be processed. Donations are withdrawn from the donor’s account on either the 3rd or the 18th of the month.
  • Donors may set up an end date for their reoccurring donations when they set up their initial DynaPay account.
  • If a donor does not select an end date a donor MUST submit a written request (fax, letter, e-mail) to Donor Relations to stop their reoccurring donation. This will NOT happen automatically.   A two weeks advance notice must be provided to stop any future reoccurring donations.
  • IMPORTANT: All donors need to STOP their reoccurring donations after the participant’s 6th month on the field.
  • There is no processing fee charged when using Dynapay.?

         5.Refund/Transfer Policy

  • Our policy states that donations made to Adventures in Missions are non-refundable and non-transferable. This keeps our non-profit status in compliance with IRS and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability guidelines. For more information go to www.adventures.org/policies.
  • Once a donation has been made it cannot be transferred to another trip participant.  If there are any future donations in a reoccurring donation, these CAN be redirected to another participant.
