Sponsor A Volunteer

Now Is the Time for Missions is powered by over 100 volunteers each summer, ages 7-77.  All mission team members, including all leaders, raise their own financial support, so we can keep our expenses low, and our mission impact high.  To support one of our team members, please click on one of the blue Donate Buttons and follow the instructions.  

Please indicate who your donation is for in the PERSONAL MESSAGE BOX, or we will not know which volunteer to credit your donation to.  

For step-by-step instructions, scroll down.  Thank you for your support!

Why is an E-CHECK Payment better than a paper check?

• It‘s safe and secure - Your bank account information is safe and never shared with us, or anyone else.
• It’s fast - Payments clear in 1-3 days.  No mail delay.
• It’s efficient - No need for our volunteers to open, record, and deposit hundreds of paper checks.
• It’s simple - Easy two-step process, only takes 3 min’s!
• It’s FREE for you, and only costs us $.50!  (PayPal and Credit Card donations cost us 2.9%!)
• You can pay the way you want - Make partial payments or schedule payments for a future date.
• No sign up required - Pay right away, or create an account to save your payment info and track multiple payments.
• It's green - Eliminates writing paper checks and you can easily manage your payables online.

How to Donate For Multiple Volunteers In One Payment

If you are making a payment for multiple team members with one E-CHECK payment (i.e. for a group from a church), click the, “Donate Special Amount” button to the right.  Follow the instructions and enter your total donation amount.  Then, in the PERSONAL MESSAGE box on the SECOND PAGE, type EACH VOLUNTEER’S NAME and HOW MUCH of the E-CHECK donation should be donated for each person.  For example:

John Smith - $800
Sally Jones - $150
Joe Schmoe - $650

To Donate by Check

An E-CHECK donation is STRONGLY encouraged over a paper check for payments because it saves time of our volunteers to open, record, and deposit hundreds of checks.  The E-CHECK payment via Intuit is our preferred method of payment (see instructions above), because it's super fast for you and for us, accurate, safer than paper because we never see your bank information (nor does anyone else handling your mail), and it only costs us $.50/transaction.  If for some reason it is not possible to make a donation with the E-CHECK payment method, please mail us a check following the instructions below.  

All checks should be made payable to SANTA CLARA FOURSQUARE CHURCH.  In the check MEMO, Please only PRINT:  GUATEMALA MISSION, then write the volunteer's name on an included post-it.  No personal names on the check OR in the CHECK MEMO, please, only on an attachment or post-it.  

If you are making a payment for multiple team members with one check payment (i.e. for a group from a church), please type EACH VOLUNTEER’S NAME and HOW MUCH of the check should be donated for each person ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER OR POST-IT.  For example:

John Smith - $800
Sally Jones - $150
Joe Schmoe - $650
