How Word & Story uses gifts:

Word & Story uses donations in distinct ways to honor the intent of each gift. Contributions to designated funds are reserved exclusively for their specified purposes, such as supporting particular counselees. One-time gifts and recurring donations both flow into the organization’s operational budget, where they are applied to essential expenses that keep the ministry running. While recurring gifts provide steady support for ongoing needs, Word & Story seeks to use one-time gifts strategically to achieve long-term goals and fund special projects, though they may also be directed toward sustaining daily operations when necessary.
