  1.  Donating by Check
  • Checks may take up to two weeks to be processed.
  • Checks must be made payable to Adventures in Missions.
  • The following information must be written the memo line of every check.
    • Ex: Appealed by Natalia Davis 
  • Checks must be mailed to:
    • Adventures in Missions
    • PO Box 742570
    • Atlanta, GA 30374-2570   
  • 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.
  • Please do not put multiple checks in the same envelope unless there is a support card (located on your profile) attached to each check.  If there is only one card in the envelope, all of the checks will be associated with that card/donor. 
  • It is BEST if a donor sends in a Fundraising/Support card with donation (included with the support letter)
  • If a check is written out to a participant rather than to Adventures in Missions, these checks cannot be processed and will be returned.

 

  1.  Money Orders
  • Money orders are an acceptable method of payment for a donation.
  • All of the statements about giving via check also apply to money orders.  Refer to item 2 if you have any further questions. 
  • Donors must provide all applicable information in order to receive acknowledgement for their gift.

 

  1.  Donating Online
  • Online donations can take 3-5 days to process.
  • A donor may be directed to donate online through a participant’s blog ([email protected])
  • Online donations by credit/debit card will be subject to a 3% processing fee.  Bank drafts will be subject to a 2% processing fee.
  • A donor may set up a recurring 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 6thmonth on the field.  Any donations made after the 6th month will NOT be counted towards the final deadline.

 

  1.  Donating with Dynapay
  • 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 Donations are withdrawn from the donor’s account on either the 3rd or the 18th of the month.
  • 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 recurring 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.
  • 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 6thmonth on the field.
  • There is no processing fee charged when using Dynapay.

 

  1.  Refund/Transfer Policy

The Adventures in Mission’s 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.
