Our Financial Principles
Open Door Mission belongs to God, and the staff is committed to Him. A godly and compassionate Board of Directors governs Open Door Mission and understands its responsibility to assure that your contributions are used honorably.
Open Door Mission is an arm of the Heartland’s church community. Through their support, many churches have commissioned us to reach out to the poor and the homeless.
The Open Door Mission operates by the following financial principles:
- We will never attempt to raise more money than the Mission needs.
- We will pay for its purchases immediately or within 30 days.
- We believe that Christians should support their local churches first. We will never encourage believers to support Open Door Mission until they have first met their obligations to their churches.
- We believe each gift comes from people who give sacrificially. Open Door Mission will use all gifts prayerfully and conservatively. No one will become financially wealthy as a result of his/her efforts at the mission. All designated donations will be used for the purposes they are given.
- We will never sell nor rent our donor mailing list.
- We will promptly send receipts for all monetary donations.
- We believe that our supporters want to hear from us in times of plenty, as well as in times of difficulty. We pledge to act with integrity when raising funds. We will always communicate our needs honestly.
- We will conform to the standards of the ECFA, submitting to an independent audit each year and maintaining an “open-book” policy.
