- Funding the Mission : March 2021 Update
Thank you for using FundingtheMission.org. It is the most economical way for your church to give. We thought we would share some of our commonly asked questions. When I log in, why does FundingtheMission.org not show my name? Possibly, you are using someone else’s login information. You can request your own login through your district office. You can also request a user be deleted from FundingtheMission.org through your district office. How do I make sure my church gifts post to the correct assembly year? When you confirm your gift, before it is submitted, make sure the correct assembly year is selected. When logging in to Fundingthemission.org, the default setting will be the current assembly year. Why is my education giving not showing on FundingtheMission.org? Each district choses to track educational giving differently. Please contact your district office for more information. How do I print a remittance form? While electronic giving is the most economical way to give, you may occasionally need to send a gift through the mail. You can download a remittance form on the contribution page. Click the green “Make a Contribution” link and then click the “Mail form to the GTS” link to download the form. How do I know my Mission 10+ (aka Ten Percent Church) giving status for last year? 2020 giving recognition statistics are now available on the Stewardship Development website. Click “Recognition” on the menu, scroll down past Dr. Graves’ quote. Is the 2020 Annual Report available?
