Q Why do staff members raise support instead of being paid by Campus Crusade for Christ?
A We are a nonprofit organization and have no central funds. Staff members, including the president of Campus Crusade, raise support to cover salaries, benefits, and expenses. Then each staff member has a team of partners who pray for him or her. Central fundraising would limit the number of staff members. As a result of our many staff members, hundreds of thousands of people hear the good news of Gods love.
Q How is a staff members salary determined?
A Salaries are determined by age, number of children, and geographical location. In addition, a staff member may raise funds for a retirement plan.
Q How long am I expected to support a staff member?
A That is a decision between you and the Lord. Our desire is that you would support the staff member for as long as the Lord enables you to do so.
Q Why do I need to make out my check to Campus Crusade for Christ?
A Campus Crusade is registered with the IRS as a 501©(3) organization and we follow IRS regulations for contributions. The staff members name should not appear on the check. Contributions are sent to Campus Crusade with a slip with the staff members account number ensuring your gift will be used as you intend.
Q Does all my support go to the staff member?
A All contributions designated for the ministry of a staff member go into that staff members account. Then 7 percent is used for administrative expenses, such as processing payroll, benefits, and other services. Another 5 percent helps fund Campus Crusade ministries in places overseas where national staff find it difficult to raise support in their home country.
