How funds move

A simple operating process

01

Needs are identified in Baja.

Orphanage and ministry leadership identify upcoming expenses, projects, and urgent needs.

02

Expenses are reviewed.

Door of Faith Ministries reviews the requested support and provides funds for approved needs through its normal budget process.

03

Donations support the work.

General giving provides flexibility to meet the combination of food, water, medical care, education, transportation, facilities, and ministry needs that changes from week to week.

Designations and restricted gifts

Giving choices do not automatically create separate restricted accounts.

The online giving portal includes categories such as sponsorship and other ministry needs. Those choices communicate a donor's interest, but the current system generally supports the combined ministry budget rather than maintaining a separate restricted account for every portal category.

Want to fund something specific?

If you intend to make a legally restricted gift or fully fund a specific project, contact Door of Faith before giving. The ministry can confirm the need, scope, amount, and how the gift will be handled.

Governance and oversight

What accountability currently includes

Door of Faith Ministries is governed by its own volunteer board and uses ordinary financial controls for banking, tax reporting, receipts, and donor records.

01

Board governance

A volunteer board of directors provides organizational oversight and responsibility for significant ministry decisions.

02

Financial controls

Ministry funds are held in U.S. bank accounts with protected online access and standard recordkeeping practices.

03

Tax and donor records

The ministry completes required tax filings and provides receipts and year-end giving statements to donors.

Independent financial review

The ministry does not currently claim an independent financial audit.

Door of Faith Ministries does not presently describe its financial statements as independently audited. The ministry's public language is intended to match the level of outside verification actually in place.

Why state this plainly?

Trust is better served by accurately describing current safeguards than by implying a level of independent review that is not in place.

What donors can expect

Receipts, communication, and privacy

Receipts

Online gifts generate a receipt, and donors receive year-end giving information for their records.

Updates

Door of Faith communicates with supporters about the ongoing work and needs of the ministry.

Questions are welcome

Donors may ask about receipts, records, sponsorship, project funding, or how a particular gift will be used.

Donor privacy

Donor information is used for ministry communication and records and is not sold to advertisers.

We are glad to clarify how a gift will be handled.
