Non-cash gifts benefit Bible translation projects
Non-cash gifts (also called gifts in kind) benefit Bible translation projects two ways: some of the donated items are sold, with the proceeds going to support field programs in progress and start new ones, and others are shipped directly to field teams for their use.
1. Donated Items Sold to Support Strategic Bible Translation Projects
Find a worthwhile home for your unused but valuable items. The donation process is easy:
-
Visit Wycliffe’s section on the iDonate.com webpage, identify your gift and complete the "Donation Proposal Form." iDonate.com is an organization that specializes in non-cash gift programs for non-profit organizations.
- iDonate.com will provide instructions for the transfer of your gift, provide you with a receipt, find a buyer for the item and allocate proceeds to Wycliffe.
- For more information please call 1-877-89-SHARE to speak to Wycliffe's representative at iDonate.com.
