Go Paperless: eReceipts
By selecting our paperless receipt option, you are helping us make every dollar count! Did you know that it costs about $1.00 to mail each receipt? Multiply that by each donation and you can see how it adds up fast.
If you are ready to “go paperless,” please fill out the form above. You have the option to receive your receipt via email, or opt-out of receipts all together. Either way, we will still mail your year-end statement for tax purposes.

How can I update my contact information?
You can manage your donor profile on our website by Signing In and updating your contact information under Summary Profile or you can email our Donations Team by clicking here.
Are there fees related to credit card transactions?
Yes, United World Mission charges 3% to the missionary to cover the fees for credit card usage. We encourage donors to consider Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT), which is a direct transfer from your bank account to United World Mission’s account which incurs a smaller fee around $.30 for each transaction.
Are my donations tax-deductible?
Yes. All donations to the ministry of United World Mission and our missionaries are tax-deductible.
Can I give directly to United World Mission’s general fund, which helps UWM better serve churches and missionaries?
Yes. Simply write “General Fund” on a separate note with your check or choose “General Operations” in the designation dropdown list.
You can also donate online though our GIVE page.
How are United World Mission missionaries paid?
UWM depends upon financial partnership with churches and donors that believe in and share in our mission. Our missionaries are required to develop a team of churches and individuals that partner with them to provide their necessary prayer and financial support.
Each month our missionaries receive a set salary that is determined by an analysis of specific cost of living and ministry expense requirements in their context and role. Regardless of fluctuations in the amount of donations received they receive the same salary, provided the funds are available.
Can I give a missionary a personal, or non tax-deductible, gift?
To give a personal, non tax-deductible gift to a missionary at Christmas-time or other special occasions, make your check payable to United World Mission and write “non tax deductible personal gift” on the memo line. Because it is a personal gift for the missionary, you will not receive a donation receipt from United World Mission and you will not be able to claim the gift as a contribution on your income tax return.
Can I give a stock donation?
Yes. We regularly receive stock donations. Please contact us at (704) 357-3355 for our routing and brokerage account information.
What percentage of my gift actually goes to the missionary or project?
All missionaries are assessed a 13% administrative fee and projects are assessed a 10% administrative fee. These administrative fees enable us to provide financial and administrative services to your missionary and strengthen the ministry of United World Mission through missionary mobilization, training, and leadership.
