Now that you are beginning to raise support, you probably have a lot of questions. Before you begin, take a deep breath. What God has called you to, He will provide for.
When is Money Due?
o $150 Initial Donation – 2 Weeks after you’re accepted
o 50% – 2 months before the trip
o 75% – 1 Month before the trip
o 100% – 1 Week before the trip
What if I Miss a Deadline?
First off, know that we are here to help you!!! As you write your support letter, as you make your phone calls, as you figure out what else you need to do, we are going to be with you. Because of that, it’s a rare situation when you actually MISS a deadline.
If that happens, we consider each case on an individual basis. If you have been in touch with us and done everything we’ve suggested, there will be some time and grace to catch up. So keep in touch!
What if I Get Way Behind?
If, while you are preparing to go, your account falls too far behind, you will simply delay until the next departure date. That will give you more time to continue raising support and you will depart with the next team. This is a rare situation and does not happen very often. Remember, what God has called you to, He will provide for!
What if I Leave the Trip?
Whether you withdraw before the trip begins or leave in the middle of the program, the same thing will happen. Due to IRS and ECFA regulations governing the administration of tax deductible donations given in support of a particular trip/program, all contributions are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
What if I Have Money Left Over?
Any money left after all trip costs are completed will be used to offset the costs of the ministry programs at AIM including alumni opportunities, scholarships, and other expenses. It will not be refunded to you or your donors and may not be used for other projects outside AIM’s ministry.
Funds may NOT be transferred to any other trip, person, or ministry.
