What is Churchteams and why do you use it?
Churchteams is our giving platform that is very versatile and uses Extended Validation SSL/TLS certificates and encryption to keep your connection and giving safe. It allows you to choose your church or designation and give a single gift, or schedule recurring giving.
What giving option should I use?
We have provided various giving options for you to use so you can choose the one you feel is most convenient. You can give in person at one of our services, you can give online or even send an e-transfer. If you want to send a cheque in the mail, you can do that too. Probably, the most convenient way to give is by using our Text-to-Give option.
How does Text-to-Give work?
By simply using the text app on your mobile phone, you simply text the location code and dollar amount to (289) 203-5777. For example, to give $50 to our General account, you would input: GENERAL 50
If it’s your first time using Text-to-Give, you’ll need to go through a few steps to set up your giving account, but this is just a simple one-time setup process. After that, you simply give by text. To make it easier, save our Text-to-Give number in your contacts.
Will I receive a Giving Statement?
Yes! You will receive an end-of-year Income Tax Statement before the end of February for the previous calendar year. Also, at any time you can log into your giving account via Text-to-Give or online (please see the previous question), and once there, click on Manage, then ‘My Giving.’ There will be an option to download your statement at your convenience.
Can I view my giving record?
Yes! There are two ways to do this. If you use Text-to-Give, simply send a text to (289) 203-5777 and enter LOGIN in the message window. In your account window, click on ‘Manage’ on the top right then click ‘My Giving’ then scroll down to see your giving record.
You can also check online through our this Giving page by clicking the CANADA give button. In the new giving page, click on Login on the top right (you will need to remember your account email and password).
What is the deadline to give my contributions?
If you give by cash or cheque, these contributions must be received or postmarked by 11:59pm ET on December 31st to be included in your giving statement for that year. If you give online or by Text-to-Give, these transactions must be initiated by 11:59pm ET on December 31st to be included.
Can I donate assets or vehicles to Eagle Worldwide?
Yes, you can. Please contact our accounting department at accounting@eagleworldwide.com or call during business hours and they will be able to answer all your questions. You will receive an income tax deduction for the fair value of that asset.
Can I give if I live outside of Canada?
Online giving and Text-to-Give have made it easy for anybody anywhere in the world to give a contribution to Eagle Worldwide. However, please note that the Ministry can only provide an Income Tax Receipt in Canada. If you live in the U.S., then click on the blue USA button under Online Giving to receive an Income Tax receipt in the U.S.
