Thank you for considering joining us in service by making a contribution to this mission! With your help, we will be able to help teach and form Christian leaders in Tanzania and serve the needs of the local community. In order to obtain basic necessities and cover travel expenses without burdening our community in Tanzania, we need to raise $20,000 for our year of service.
We are deeply grateful for your help. Your contribution makes a real impact on our ability to serve, and joins us as partners in this mission. If you would like to donate in someone’s name or sponsor us for day or a week, we will personally recognize your contribution on the day that you choose. Our mission can be supported at $55 per day.
Please use the form below to pledge your support, and we will contact you by email to set up the donation. This method will allow us to keep accurate records of funds. Unfortunately, we are not able to take online donations at this time, but we will email you a form that allows you to submit check, credit card, or cash donations. All donations are tax-deductable.

FAQ about Donations
How You Can Help
How can I support you?
First and foremost, your prayers continue to sustain us. As part of the YASC program, we are also required to raise $10,000 a person ($20,000 total). Even small contributions will go a long way to help make our work a reality.
What does my contribution support?
Your contribution will help make our mission possible. With your donation, we will be able to help train clergy and lay leaders in a church facing a clergy shortage and many other challenges. Your donation will allow us to live among Tanzanians and be a guest in their community. Specifically, it will provide us with the following:
– A small monthly stipend to provide for housing, food, and other basic necessities
– One round trip plane trip each to Tanzania
– Visas
– Immunizations
– Health, life, and evacuation insurance
– Two weeks of pre-mission training
– Language tutoring in Swahili
How can I donate?
First, please fill out the form at http://www.oneholyname.com/donate. You will then be provided with a form to fill out and mail to Episcopal Church Mission Personnel Center. The Episcopal Church will accept cash, check, or credit card.
Why can’t I donate directly online?
In order for the donation to be tax deductible, it must be made to the Episcopal Church directly or to another tax-exempt organization (such as a parish church) which will forward it to the Episcopal Church. Currently, the Episcopal Church Mission Personnel Office does not have an online donation form. We are working with the Episcopal Church to provide an online donation form, and we hope to make it available soon.
…but then, why do I need to fill out an online pledge form?
The online pledge form allows us to know how much we have made towards our mission work. Without the online form, we would be unable to keep up-to-date information on how much money has been donated toward our work.
I made a pledge online, but never received an email (or I can’t find the pledge form).
You can download and mail in the pledge form by clicking http://www.oneholyname.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/yasc_Donations_form.pdf. If you haven’t yet made an online pledge, please do that first by visiting http://www.oneholyname.com/donate/, so that we are able to track how much we have raised.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Absolutely. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible. You will receive a receipt from the Episcopal Church (or if you donate through a parish church or other organization, from that organization).
