How to contribute toward the work of an Individual Volunteer
Those wishing to give contributions toward the work of Individual Volunteers may send them to the Individual Volunteer Program's Advance special number: 982465.
(1) Please make the check payable to: General Board of Global Ministries - or, just GBGM.
(2) Write in the memo line of the check: Adv#982465, for Ind. Vol. [name of volunteer]. Or, if you wish to contribute to the Walter and Betty Whitehurst Scholarship Fund for Individual Volunteers, write: Adv#982465, for I.V. Scholarship Fund.
(3) The check should then be mailed to:
Mission Volunteers Office, GBGM
475 Riverside Drive
Room 1400
New York, NY 10115
Donors are requested to follow this procedure precisely so that their contributions can be properly credited, because if a check is made out to a payee other than the General Board of Global Ministries, we might not be able to deposit it; or if it is sent to some other address than the one given above, we might not know about it.
It takes at least a month for contributions to be posted in the Individual Volunteer Advance# Donor Listing (and sometimes longer, such as occurred in the aftermath of the Southeast Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and during and after a holiday season), at which time the funds become available for remittance.
