Where do you guys operate from?

Emerge missions has been a trusted partner in Asian missions work since 1990. We are a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit. Donations to Emerge are tax-deductible. 100% of all money is spent on the projects for which it was intended, nothing removed for administration. It's always been that way.

Are you a Christian ONG?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

How are funds utilized?

Donors have a right to ask how non-profits spend the monies that are donated. We feel that charities have a responsibility to keep overhead costs to a minimum so that most of the funds make their way to the point of need. The two largest costs for a charity are typically administration and fundraising.

Emerge is a lean charity. For the past 25 years we have relied on the willingness of volunteers to handle all of our administrative work. Our fundraising model, has likewise been frugal, relying on relationship-building instead of using marketing companies and purchased mailing lists. This has allowed us to keep the fundraising budget minimal. The president of Emerge and all US-based missionaries are responsible to raise their own personal support as well.

No funds for administration or other costs are ever withheld from specified-use donations.  What you direct for a cause goes directly to that cause.
