Missionary Fundraising: please view the instructions below to learn more about setting-up a missionary account under your organization.

How it works:

  1. The organization enables the option to accept missionaries.
  2. A missionary creates an account on Continue to Give.
  3. The missionary will request to become a missionary of your organization.
  4. Once they submit a request you must either approve or deny it.
  5. Once approved the missionary can fundraise under your organization using Continue to Give software

What is a Missionary Account

  • Missionary accounts are 'sub-accounts' of your main organization.
  • Missionaries have their own profile or fundraising page and have their own login.
  • All funds go through the missionaries page into the main organizations bank account.
  • It is the responsibility of the organization to give the raised funds to the missionary.
  • Missionaries have sole control over their account and profile.

How to Setup Missionaries

First, make sure your oragnization is setup to accept missionary requests. Navigate to Settings and then Fundraising Settings. Under "Missionary Setup", click on "I have missionaries and collect donations on their behalf".

Tell your missionaries to go to www.continuetogive.com and then click on "REGISTER" and choose missionary. They will then be prompted to create a new login in Continue to Give. At one point during the sign-up the missionary will be prompted with this question: "How should we distribute the money you raise?". They will need to choose "Through my organization which is already using Continue to Give".

On the next step they will be asked to search for the organization by name, this way they can look up your organization.

After they click search, your organization will show on screen and they can click on "Missionary Request". This will send an email with the missionary details to your organization.

You can approve or deny the missionary request by loging in your dashboard in Continue to Give.

 

Once you have approved a missionary, they will show up in your "Purposes" under the "Missionaries" tab.
