As you partner with us through giving, we are grateful for your support of the Great Commission ministries of Baptist Mid-Missions. Whether you are giving now, giving for income, or giving for the future, you are making a soul-saving, life-changing, eternity-shaping difference in the lives of people around the world.
The Stewardship Ministries Department exists to serve churches, missionaries, and individuals to be the best stewards possible with the resources the Lord has committed to their care, with the goal of producing the maximum glory for God. We can offer assistance in meeting your stewardship goals through planned giving seminars conducted through local churches, one-on-one interviews, and informative literature. Please contact Stewardship Ministries if we can help you.
For Your Information
BMM is an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to BMM are qualified for Federal and, in some cases, State income-tax deductions, as allowed by law, unless marked "Not Tax-Deductible."
Personal gifts to missionaries, such as for Christmas and birthdays, are designated as "Not Tax-Deductible" and may not be used as an itemized deduction for tax purposes. These gifts are considered gifts to the individual missionaries and not to BMM. They are processed as a service to the donor and the missionary.
Gifts that express a preference for a particular missionary are understood to be for the ministry of that missionary. IRS regulations do not permit BMM to accept gifts with a preference or designation for a particular missionary that requires a payment to that particular individual. Ministry is accomplished through BMM personnel by the payment of appropriate compensation and the reimbursement of ministry expenses through an accountable expense plan. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that the use of all gifts to BMM is controlled by its General Council, which has complete discretion and control over the use of all donated funds.
BMM does not give tax or legal advice or counsel. You are advised to check with your tax preparer and/or legal counsel.
