-
Are my donations to Revolution Ministries tax deductible?Yes! You will receive monthly and yearly reports of all of your donations in the mail, including child sponsorship donations, which you can you use for tax purposes.
-
What does child sponsorship pay for?Your sponsor child will usually receive a checkup and a dentist checkup, as well as any medicine or vitamins he or she needs. Most likely they will also receive medicine for parasites. Aside from this, your sponsorship donation will be used where it is needed most. For example, in September your donation will probably go towards school supplies and school uniforms. Other months your donation may go toward new shoes, new clothes, food, medicine, etc. depending on the needs of your sponsor child. The goal is to lessen the burden for the parents and help provide for the children, so each child will receive their support based on what is needed most. Each child receives a birthday gift and Christmas gift from you, and we focus a large percentage of your donations on education and health.
-
What percentage of my donation goes to my sponsor child?All of it! We do not take any money out of your donation for our ministry, salaries, or publicity, which makes our program different from many popular programs. Everything your funds are used for will benefit your sponsor child directly. If you decide to send an extra donation, which is completely optional, for something specific for your child, we will use it 100% for what you have designated it for. You will receive an annual accounting report detailing every penny that has been spent as well as any money that is still left in the child´s account.
-
How can I find out about my child´s specific needs?You will receive periodic updates on your sponsor child, right here on this website. In addition to monthly sponsorship, you may have the opportunity to send additional donations according to your sponsor child´s needs. These donations are optional, and will be detailed in your updates as they arise. You can also always feel free to email us directly if you would like to know more about your child´s needs.
-
How often will I receive updates on my sponsor child?You will receive an accounting update annually in January for your child, however we do try to post updates and pictures several times a year on our website. You will go to our page for current sponsors and click on your child´s ID number to see his or her most current information. You will also be able to see updates and pictures through our social media accounts. If you haven´t heard from us lately and want more information, feel free to email us!
-
Can I sponsor more than one child?Yes! You may sponsor as many children as you would like.
-
Will I be the only person sponsoring my sponsor child?Yes. Each child may have only one sponsor. You may choose to sponsor your sponsor child with a group, like a Sunday school class or friends, in which case your group will provide the only sponsorship that child receives. No other group or individual will sponsor your sponsor child.
-
How long does sponsorship last?The ideal sponsorship situation lasts until the child´s eighteenth birthday, unless he or she decides to pursue college, in which case it would last until the twenty-first birthday. If you choose to continue sponsorship after that date, you will be given a new sponsor child.
