How It Works

We take care of donation processing, fund accounting, and global disbursements

— so you can focus on your calling. Let us handle the paperwork while you serve where you’re needed most.

How Giving Works

You do the work. We handle the rest.

Mission Serve is not a sending agency. We don’t supervise your field activity, place you in an assignment, or fundraise on your behalf. Instead, we handle everything behind the scenes so your donors can give tax-deductibly, your funds arrive reliably, and your back office stays clean.

Fund Accounting

Your support is held in a dedicated fund in your name. Every dollar is tracked, reported, and yours alone.

Donor Receipts

Every donor receives an automatic receipt the moment they give. Year-end tax statements go out by January 15.

Monthly Disbursements

Your support is disbursed around the 25th of each month — ACH for US-based workers, international wire for overseas.

Compliance

We file Form 990 annually, maintain Colorado nonprofit registration, and keep your fund audit-ready at all times.

From application to active in about a week

Apply

Share your work, field assignment, and support base. Applications are reviewed personally by our Executive Director.  No setup fees or minimum support levels required, but you should be actively building your donor base.

Onboard

Once approved, you’ll receive paperwork automatically — a letter of agreement, W-9, and bank info form. When completed, your dedicated fund is created and configured in our accounting system. Most partners are fully active within one week.

Launch Your Fund

You get a personal giving link to share with donors. Gifts go directly to your designated fund. Donors can give online, by ACH, Donor Advised Fund, or stock transfer. Every gift is receipted automatically.

Stay Focused

From here, your job is the work. We handle the rest, so you can stay focused on your mission and ministry. Donors give through your link, funds accumulate in your account, and disbursements arrive monthly. We send you a monthly fund report so you always know exactly where you stand.

One number. No surprises.

5% administrative fee on donations received.

That’s it — no setup fees, no monthly minimums, no hidden costs.

95%

Goes directly to you, disbursed monthly.

5%

Covers fund accounting, donor receipts, disbursements, compliance, and back-office infrastructure.

Mission Serve has no investment income, no major donor campaigns, and no overhead beyond what it takes to run the back office well. The fee is how we stay sustainable — and how we keep 95 cents of every dollar going where it belongs.
