Disclosure Statements to Donors

World Missionary Press is a 501 (c)(3) Publicly supported not-for-profit religious corporation;
FETN:35-1076405

Contributions to World Missionary Press are tax-deductible, as provided by law and determined by the IRS. Materials or services provided by WMP are (1) of no market value, (2) not provided in consideration of a gift, and (3) considered of public benefit (not for the donor’s personal benefit), fulfilling the tax-exempt purposes of WMP.

Donor’s substantiation requirements: The IRS requires that any receipt totaling $250 or more be retained by the donor to substantiate the gift when itemizing deductions on income tax returns. Single donations of less than $250 must be substantiated by either (1) a receipt from the charity or (2) a bank record (such as a canceled check, a bank or credit union statement, or a credit card statement) which includes the name of the charity, the date, and the amount of the contribution. [See IRS Publication 526.]

Designated contributions are used for the specific purposes for which they are given. If WMP cannot fulfill the designation of any gift, it is refunded to the donor or the gift may be redesignated by the donor. Funds specified for any project which has already been fully funded by designated contributions (a rare occurrence) will be applied toward a similar project, unless requested otherwise by the donor at the time of the gift.

Privacy policy: All donor information is kept strictly confidential.  World Missionary Press will not trade, share or sell a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.

Transparency: WMP makes financial information available to the public.  CLICK HERE to see copies of (1) audited financial statements, (2) Form 990s filed with the IRS, and/or (3) annual reports mailed to donors (Special Edition WMP NEWS). WMP has been a member in good standing of ECFA since 1982.

Charitable solicitation registrations: WMP seeks to comply with the charitable solicitation regulations of every state which has them. The current status of WMP is listed below for each state, along with any disclosure statement required by that state. We praise God for how He is using the support of His people to make His Word available throughout the world.
