PARTNER WITH US

All Partner gifts given to TCM are tax deductible as a 501(c)(3) ministry. The funds will be utilized in around the world to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ and make a difference in their lives.

Do I receive a receipt for my donation?

Yes, a receipt is sent each time a donation is made. Attached to that receipt is a donation form and return envelope for your convenience in making future donations. Receipts are sent within a week of receiving the contribution. If you made a donation and did not receive a receipt, please continue sending partner contributions. Simply include a note stating designations and requesting a duplicate of the receipt. Please note that the TCM does not send bills or pledge reminders.

The receipt/return form was not correct. What should be done?

Mistakes occasionally happen and donor services would like to make sure the donation has been handled properly. Please look over each receipt/return form for accuracy. If there is an error, please indicate it in a letter or on the return form with the next contribution. The item can then be corrected and a new receipt can be issued.

What is the cutoff date for receiving money at year-end to use it as a tax deduction on tax returns?

All checks for donations must be dated and postmarked on or before December 31 in order to receive a receipt which can be used in the current tax year. Checks which are dated or postmarked in January will be dated as received in January.

Will I receive a summary statement of year-to-date contributions?

In order to keep costs to a minimum, year-end statements are not automatically sent; however, a year-end statement of giving can be requested. Each receipt shows a year-to-date total of giving for the current year.

What does "This contribution is made with the understanding that TCM has complete control over the use of donated funds" mean?

Complete control of a gift is necessary to give the TCM Leadership discretion to use funds as the Lord leads for the TCM mission of multiplying healthy churches among all people. It also is necessary for the gift to be tax-deductible to the donor per the IRS code, and for the TCM to record the donation as revenue to the TCM per generally accepted accounting principles.
