FAQ

Does all of my donation support the IHOPKC missions base?
Yes, 100% of your donation is used to support the religious and charitable mission of the International House of Prayer. Your donation may be used to fill any of the various needs around the IHOPKC missions base, including but not limited to funding the operation of the prayer room and its webstream; supporting the intercessors, singers, musicians, and support staff who serve here; supporting IHOPKC’s many ministry programs; or supporting the facilities and administration of our entire missions base.

When you indicate a preference that your donation supports a specific IHOPKC staff member, you help equip that staff member to serve at IHOPKC. A small percentage (approximately 3%) of electronic donations for staff support is used to cover card and bank processing fees. Donations preferenced to support a specific staff member remain subject to the control and administration of IHOPKC.

Are IHOPKC worship leaders, singers, musicians, and intercessors supported with my donation?
Like most missionaries, our worship leaders, singers, musicians, intercessors, and support staff build their own partnership teams to stand with them financially and in prayer. IHOPKC stands with them as well by providing small stipends as we are able and as there is need, and your donation helps us to do that. We are able to offer these stipends because of the generosity of IHOPKC’s partners.

How do I find out a staff member’s eGiving code?
Please reach out to the staff member directly to get their eGiving code. If you cannot reach that staff member, please contact the Partner Care Team. 

How do I send a check to partner with a staff member?
Make your check payable to “IHOPKC” and include “ministry of Staff Name” in the memo of the check.

Mail your check to:
IHOPKC—Missionary Support
3535 E. Red Bridge Road
Kansas City, MO  64137

(Please note that donations preferenced to support a specific staff member remain subject to the control and administration of IHOPKC.)

How do staff members support themselves financially?
Like most missionaries, our staff build their own ministry partnership teams to stand with them both financially and in prayer. To do this, they communicate with their home church, family and friends, and other churches and individuals they meet through networking. As they cast vision and share the opportunity of partnership, the Lord raises up a team who cover their living and ministry expenses. As there is need and as we are able, we stand with our staff as well by providing small stipends—which is possible through the generosity of IHOPKC’s partners.

Can my donation be tax-deductible if it is coming from outside the United States?
We have partnered with two foundations to help facilitate tax-deductibility for international donations. If you are from Canada, consider donating through the Great Commission Foundation here. If you are from another country, consider donating through the TrustBridge Global Foundation (Fund #198057). Please contact the Partner Care Team for more information about donating through either of these foundations. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable under applicable law. 

Will I receive a receipt for my donation(s)?

If you’d like to change how you receive your giving statements or if you did not receive a giving statement, please contact the Partner Care Team.

Annual contribution statements that can be used for tax-deductibility purposes are sent either by email or physical mail by the end of January for the previous year to partners who donate more than $20 in the previous year and have a U.S. mailing address.

If you’d like to change how you receive your annual contribution statement, or if after February 1 your annual contribution statement has not arrived, please contact the Partner Care Team.
