Is Send International financially accountable?

Yes, Send International is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and has been accredited since 1985. We adhere to the ECFA's Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, covering governance, financial oversight, transparency, and fundraising.

How does Send International ensure transparency?

We practice a unique level of transparency where every Send missionary can view all donations made to their account in real-time. This creates a system of direct accountability. We also provide our audited financial statements upon written request.

What are the ECFA's Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship?

The seven standards include a commitment to doctrinal issues, responsible governance, independent financial oversight, proper use of resources, transparency and disclosure, stewardship of designated gifts, and integrity in fundraising.

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.
