Gifts to sponsored children (aside from regular sponsorship contributions) have no administrative fee deducted. 10% administrative/ processing fees are deducted from contributions to our special funds or projects.
No goods or services are provided to the donors in exchange for tax-deductible gifts. ICCM thanks you for giving to improve the lives of children in need and will make every effort to honor your requested gift designation. In the event this is not possible or funding exceeds the need, your gift will be applied to a similar area of ministry which best meets the needs of children.
Note: International Child Care Ministries (ICCM) does not appear on most online charitable giving search engines because its nonprofit status is tied to the Free Methodist USA. FMCUSA is a member in good standing with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).
Financial Information + Privacy Policy
Please make up that payment as soon as possible. When calculating your “paid-through date” the next payment you make is applied to the missed month(s).
Your remittance form is your reminder. If your support is 2 months or more overdue, you will receive a reminder in the mail. If you send annual checks, you may request a reminder by either using the form below or by calling our office at 800.342.5531 ext. 502.
Your email address is the information that is used to access your online account. If we do not have it on file, then it is more difficult for you as the donor to manage your giving on your own. We also use email addresses to contact donors when they have questions that may relate to donations or their sponsorships.
Having a phone number on file for you serves as the quickest way for ICCM staff to get ahold of you if there are issues with your account, or if we are responding to an inquiry that you have.
Unfortunately, no. We maintain a separate database, so please update your information in your account or by calling us at 800.342.5531 ext. 502.
No, we do not. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
No, we do not. We’re 100% funded by donors and sponsors.
No. Although ICCM is under the FMCUSA ‘umbrella’ we do not receive any subsidization from FMCUSA.
