SOAR Ministries, Inc. (“SOAR”) is a Georgia non-profit organization that aims to help promote, facilitate, and lead short-term mission trips. SOAR’s role may vary somewhat depending on the needs of your group. Still, typically, our role is to provide information and training specific to your group’s trip and generally regarding missions.
Typically, SOAR works through your team leader to help make decisions about your trip. The team leader, along with input from the team members, will determine how funds should be raised for your trip. Your team may decide to do fundraisers to benefit each team member, or you may be asked to provide for or raise funds for your participation. SOAR recommends that each team member raise some of the needed funds by sending letters to friends and family asking for prayer and financial support. This broadens the impact of the mission trip by allowing others to share in the experience by sending you into the mission field.
SOAR is designated tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If you send letters to friends and family to request financial support, make sure they know that their donations may be claimed as charitable contributions for the tax year in which they make the donation. SOAR will provide each donor a receipt letter after the calendar year's end. SOAR’s tax-exempt status also constrains how funds may be used.
Each trip and team is unique, and it is difficult to anticipate all the questions that may need to be addressed. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have regarding these issues or other concerns you may have about participating in a trip. We look forward to working with you for the Kingdom.
