DONOR FAQs

Thank you for considering a gift to Preserved International. We know that many of our donors have questions about how their contributions are used, the impact of their generosity, and the vision of our ministry. Below are some frequently asked questions from donors and supporters.

What is Preserved International’s mission?

Our mission is to create a safe space that fosters genuine care, rest, transparency, and healing. We provide biblical care, counseling, workshops, and intensives for pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders who serve tirelessly while often carrying hidden burdens.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. Preserved International is an arm of Therismos Gospel Project Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. After giving, you will receive a donation receipt.

How will my donation be used?

Your gift directly funds counseling scholarships for pastors and missionaries, ministry leaders, church staff, intensive workshops, safe office space for counseling, and ministry mission trips. Donations also support the care and sustainability of our staff (Dane and Paola Hall) so they can serve full-time without financial barriers. They are what you would call Home-Front Missionaries (Missionaries to the pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders, and the community).

What is the financial budget to keep this important mission going annually?

Great question, our board reviews the needs of the staff and the people we serve annually and make recommendations accordingly. Our overall operational budget for 2025 & 2026 ~$250K.

What is the current fundraising campaign?

We are currently raising $55,000 by December 12, 2025, to expand the reach of our ministry, increase scholarships, and take the next steps toward a long-term retreat space for leaders and their families.

Can I designate my donation for a specific purpose?

Yes. While unrestricted gifts are the most helpful for covering all areas of ministry, you can designate your gift toward counseling scholarships, intensives/workshops, staff support, or future land/retreat development.

How can I donate?

You can give securely online at www.preservedinternational.org/give. When giving online, select '2025 Campaign Push' or your desired designation. You can also mail checks made out to 'Therismos Gospel Project Inc.' with 'Preserved International' in the memo line.

Does Preserved International receive funding from churches or other organizations?

Yes. We are blessed to receive support from individuals, churches, and occasionally grant-making foundations. However, most of our funding comes from individual donors who believe in caring for those who serve and care for others.

What is Preserved International’s long-term vision?

In the next 3–5 years, we plan to acquire land and build multiple retreat/rest spaces for pastors, missionaries, and leaders to find renewal with their families. This the plan to multiply our effectiveness and expand our reach. Your gifts today help lay the foundation for that future.

Can I become a recurring donor?

Absolutely! Recurring monthly gifts help us plan ahead and ensure sustainable care for pastors and missionaries. You can set up recurring donations through our online giving platform.

How can I stay updated on ministry impact?

We provide newsletters, donor updates, and stories of impact throughout the year. As a donor, you’ll receive regular updates so you can see how your gift is preserving leaders in ministry.
