How to Sponsor a Child

How to Sponsor a Child

Here is how people will be able to give funds to the Sierra Leone Education Project or to nominated children within the project.

Cash Giving

For those who wish to give in cash they should:
1. Put the cash into an envelope,

2. Write either the name of the child they are sponsoring or else “Sierra Leone Education Project” (if they just want to give to the project in general terms) on the front of the envelope.

3. If they want Grace to receive Tax Rebate as a registered charity they should either write their “code-Name” or else their own name also on the envelope.

4. Place it into the box in Grace each Sunday. This money will be then collected as part of the normal cash handling process and put into the bank account to be sent to Sierra Leone.

With the details entered in 2 and 3 above we can then track details to ensure that the money gets to its final destination.

Standing Order Giving

For the people wishing to use Standing Orders they should make a Standing Order to the Grace Bible Fellowship Property Trust and quote a reference as follows:
1. If they wish this to be anonymous then simply quote either the name of the child they are sponsoring or else “Sierra Leone Education Project” (if they just want to give to the project in general terms).
2. If they want Grace to receive Tax Rebate as a registered charity they should either add their Code-Name or their Name as the first part of the Reference, e.g. for me, I would write – “ASANKOH:ChildName” or “ASANKOH:SierraLeoneEducation”.
