Missionary Information
These funds will be used to support the work of TeachBeyond generally. TeachBeyond cannot refund donations due to governmental restrictions on charitable donations.
Donations received after missionary ends service will be added to our general fund. TeachBeyond UK office cannot cancel recurring gifts. The donor has to do this, either via online banking or by visiting their local bank branch.
Most TeachBeyond missionaries raise their own prayer and financial support. Several TeachBeyond positions receive a stipend which covers some in-country expenses. Upon acceptance missionary candidates receive a support schedule which reflects their personal, family and ministry needs and the cost of living in the area of the world where they serve. TeachBeyond missionaries receive a set salary, provided the funds are available in their ministry account. All gifts given for missionary support are held in TeachBeyond’s UK accounting system, funds are recorded in a restricted fund specifically for the member / project for whom the money was given. These funds remain available for the missionary for salary and ministry expenses.
Yes, TeachBeyond’s administrative allocation is normally 12% on all funds given for individual projects and 6% for organisational projects. Administrative Allocation funds are used by TeachBeyond to cover a wide array of administrative and ministry expenses incurred by TeachBeyond (processing donations, mailings, administering insurance and retirement plans, various home office expenses, recruiting, new candidate orientation, and others) to support the ministry of our members and project.
