| MOPS International is a nonprofit ministry which is grateful for the generous support of its donors. The following are principles of development which undergird and guide our fundraising efforts. |
|
|
|
|
- MOPS International belongs to God. He is ultimately responsible for the funding of His work. Trust in Him and His provision through prayer is central to all development efforts.
- Money follows ministry. People will not be viewed as money, but rather as people. Generous TLC, under the guidelines of fiscal responsibility, will be offered to all donors both before and after they give.
- Money follows involvement and commitment. Donors give to what they believe in and belong to. The MOPS story and God's workings in and through this ministry must be communicated effectively in "asks" and is the basis of all funding appeals.
- MOPS International will work to provide income based on programs, events, and product sales and will not be solely donor-driven.
- Giving money to ministry is a privilege. It is with this attitude that asks will be offered. It is a privilege and a joy to link up people who have the means with a ministry that has a need to serve God's purposes.
- Development efforts will be relational, redemptive and donor-specific.
- Development efforts will recognize that not all gifts from donors are financial. Some donors offer volunteer hours, talents, possessions and networking.
- Development efforts will acknowledge both the "small" and "major" donor as offering a meaningful contribution to God's efforts at MOPS International. While major donors will be pursued and valued, respect and value will be ascribed to the "widow's mite" offered with a willing heart.
- Development efforts will adhere to biblical and ECFA standards with the highest integrity.
- Communication with donors will be a priority. Donors will be informed as to how their gifts are used in the ministry. Donors will be thanked promptly and sincerely for their contributions.
