Synopsis
Many charities, including churches and parachurch organizations, sponsor individuals that serve on domestic and international short-term mission trips.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of short-term mission trips. The latest data on giving to ECFA members shows that short-term missions is one of the fastest growing areas of financial support within the body of Christ.
The proper handling of funds raised and expended for short-term mission trips often presents challenging tax, finance, and legal issues for trip participants and sending organizations alike. The administration of these trips is an opportunity for churches and other charities to model excellence, integrity, and compliance with the law.
We trust this simple, how-to guide by ECFA including numerous examples and sample illustrations will help you and your organization as you serve the Kingdom through missions!
