Anyone attending a World Day of Prayer service should have an opportunity to donate as part of prayerful action.

Hi,
How do you know to tax reciept the cash offerings if I send 1 cheque for the cash?
Do we need to do this through a charitable group, like a church or can an individual send the one cheque?
thanks,
Rev Mel
Hi Rev Mel,
Please send one cheque for the total amount of the cash donations (do not send money in the mail). You need a Tax Receipt Request Form (see link above in the article) to identify the names and full addresses of all people who donated $20 or more. Then WICC will issue official tax receipts. The cheque can come from either a church or an individual.
Thanks for your inquiry!
