How can I give securely online?

The simplest and most direct way to support the mission is through our secure online donation portal. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring monthly partnership to provide ongoing, stable support for our missionaries and projects.

What are the benefits of giving stock and securities?

Donating long-term appreciated stocks or mutual funds is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. By transferring securities directly to Send International, you can generally avoid the capital gains tax you would have to pay if you sold them first, allowing you to make a larger impact at a lower original cost to you.

How can I give from a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) with a provider like the National Christian Foundation (NCF), Fidelity Charitable, or Schwab Charitable, you can easily recommend a grant to support our work. To make a grant, simply log in to your DAF provider's portal and search for Send International by our legal name and Tax ID (EIN).

How does giving from an IRA work?

For partners aged 70.5 or older, making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from a traditional IRA is a powerful, tax-wise giving method. A QCD can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year and is excluded from your taxable income.

A Change of Plans

UPDATES | ASIA

December 2023

By E.K., a member of SEND Thailand | Asia

Over the semester, I went on a trip with my Thai friend, Amara*, and her family. Amara's mom invited Laura* to join us. Laura is an American teacher with the Peace Core who teaches at her Thai school. Laura and I shared the same room one night and it was then that I realized God had a different plan for me than I originally had in mind. I was there for Laura.

She spoke of her religiously mixed family, and her journey to decide for herself what she would believe. The night was filled with talk of her experience with Jesus, the church and its responsibility to love people, the difference between...

the Old and New Testament, and the end times. “Even in Thailand, surrounded by Buddhists, I still feel drawn to Jesus. If anything, coming to Thailand has swayed me more towards him than away.”

Our time together was special and encouraging. It was amazing to see her open up about her spiritual life. When going away on a trip with Amara, I anticipated interactions with her family and other Thai people. Little did I know, God had already made an appointment with someone from my very own country.
