Fund your mission by daily email, text & social media. Email & text with your greater purpose! Transform daily email & text into funding, prayer support & getting others to travel with you live online! It's natural, non-invasive, nurturing & easy to do. Created by a missionary/minister for missionaries/ministers needing a $1,000's for a short-term mission, or much more for full time missions support or Great Commission project. Registration is fast and easy. Editing webpage is simple and quick. From webpage simply click 'send text' & see a few pre-designed messages that get sent with picturesque scene of the month ie Christmas, Valentines, Easter, or the mission/ministry pic and related event info. Picturesque scene of month is joined with scripture verse to share word of god, so sending repeated texts with same mission pic and message is avoided; more natural feeling Visitors of your SeedForMe mission/ministry webpage can join you live online in the mission, visit people live in the hospital or nursing home and many more! We reengineered the philanthropic giving process; modern unique tools to reach those you know day to day ... gentle and non-invasive. All monies raised go direct to the charity preferenced for the missionary's or minister's budget. A great feature is the charity verification protocol. SeedForMe allows charities to upload their tax return, bylaws, articles of incorporation and IRS determination letter. This is in effort to give visitors a better understanding of the charity. In addition, admin contact is listed in the mission/ministry webpage so visitors could contact the charity. Plus a missionary or minister must be approved by the board of the charity to do missions/ministry and have a pre-defined budget on file with SeedForMe which is posted to the mission/ministry webpage. Also, charities put in the state specific charitable solicitation disclosures so visitors could contact their local state and the charity otherwise complies with what they need to. Founded upon nearly 70 years of 'sign' business experiences, we invented a way you can 'sign' text messages. A mix of different 'signatures' (messages) stimulates conversation naturally. Mission or ministry awareness is created in daily interactions. The average person texts 30 to 75 times a day but only asks or shares about their mission/ministry passion a handful of times here and there. Big donations possible - we included an educational part near the donate button to help others come to know charitable giving of property. i.e. when someone sells a property they have capital gains taxes. If the property is handled a certain way the IRS allows forgiveness of certain taxes (example 20% current capital gains tax) as long as a 10% goes to a charity. This technique has been used for decades across the USA. Whether you have a marriage ministry, visit the sick in the hospital, do oversees missions, provide medical missions, substance abuse ministry, or help orphans, widows or the homeless, SeedForMe is a great tool. We do not charge a fee, no credit card percentage, no per transaction fee & no 'TIP. We will look into whether or not as a for profit company we can charge a subscription fee i.e. $15/month after 60 days trial period. We do not allow 3rd party advertisement and or get paid for any advertisement or the like except the providers of education material (charitable giving strategies like the selling property and using capital gains tax minimization strategies) might at the choice of someone who learns the material, be hired independently of SeedForMe. We work as an ecclesiastical group of associations of churches, missions organizations or society. We do not come in between churches and donors to raise donations on behalf of the church, we merely allow education materials to be presented that have been time tested for decades and have helped raise 100's of millions for charity. There is no guarantee you will fund your mission or ministry.
