TEL International is an IRS-approved nonprofit corporation in the United States, supported entirely by voluntary contributions from our dedicated volunteers, friends, churches, sororities, fraternities, professional associations, and small businesses. These generous contributions serve as the primary source of funding for our programs and initiatives. We carry out all activities with the highest standards of integrity, serving as faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us, ensuring transparency, accountability, and maximum impact in every mission, program, and outreach effort we undertake. By maintaining these principles, we honor the trust of our donors, empower communities, and enable sustainable, life-changing interventions that reflect God’s love and advance His Kingdom around the world.

Like many ministries, we depend on God’s provision to meet our ongoing overhead and operating expenses. The donations and program fees we receive directly support the work of our full-time, international staff and the missions we carry out around the world. We value and respect every donor’s choice to support TEL International and consider our supporters an essential part of our ministry team. We are committed to maintaining transparency, respecting donor privacy, and ensuring contributions are used wisely. All donations are tax-deductible, with receipts provided for gifts over $50 and available upon request, and every contribution is carefully accounted for to ensure it directly supports our mission, programs, and outreach efforts.

TEL International is governed by a Board of Directors, which oversees all financial decisions, organizational policies, operational activities, fundraising efforts, and program accomplishments. The Board ensures that our appeals clearly identify the purpose and programs for which donations are applied, while allowing up to 20% of contributions to be allocated for administrative costs, consistent with best practices for nonprofit stewardship. All funds are used exclusively to support our global mission and outreach programs, ensuring that every dollar directly advances our work in education, health, church planting, humanitarian aid, and community development around the world. By giving to TEL International, you are joining a worldwide effort to fulfill the Great Commission, sharing the love of Christ and transforming lives across the globe.
