When you join the Great Commission Foundation (GCF), we can provide you with more than donations support. 

DONOR CONFIDENCE:
Donors who believe in what you are doing will want to support your organization. Maintaining donor confidence is an important part of retaining their support for the ministry work. This requires time and knowledge. As a project of the Great Commission Foundation we encourage you to focus on the relationship side of donor care and share ministry news, while our professional donation team oversees the practical side by processing donor’s financial gifts and responding to their receipting or other donation questions.

The Great Commission Foundation is registered to do charitable work in Canada and the U.S.A. and our donors trust that we maintain compliance with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We processed over $38 Million in donations in 2019 for over 400 projects. We maintain careful records, provide donor support and operate in compliance with Government requirements for charities.

DONATIONS PROCESSING:
As an affiliated agent with GCF, you will receive premium donation processing through Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge™ along with the power of Financial Edge™. Donations can be handled in a variety of forms: cheque, cash, credit card, recurring donations, event registrations and more. Ministry supporters can contact us by email or phone, we are happy to answer their donation questions.

ONLINE FUNDRAISING TOOLS:
When you join the Great Commission Foundation, we provide an online donation page. We can also create a customized version that can be embedded on your organization’s website. You can also run Peer-to-Peer Online Fundraising with customized websites. In addition to standard events, agents can opt for Do It Yourself Virtual Events. Fundraising tools such as reports and mailing lists are also available to all our agents.

DONATIONS RECEIPTING:

The Great Commission Foundation provides Canadian donors with official tax receipts they can use as a tax benefit.

Providing an official tax receipt recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires an organization to be registered to do charitable work in Canada. We work diligently to remain in good standing with CRA. We maintain meticulous records in order to meet the charitable requirements of the Canada Revenue Agency. Our commitment to the highest standards and full compliance means donors can trust the ministry and projects are operating in good standing, and their donations are used for the charitable purposes intended. Additionally, our office staff represent our projects in a highly professional way with great care for donors. We do this to honor God and the ministry.
