 Financial FAQs

  • YWAM doesn’t have a central office that manages or provides funding. Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a decentralized organization that relies on donations from individuals, churches, and other partners to fund its ministry.

    We depend entirely on God and His people to fund the ministry we do. YWAM missionaries are responsible for raising all of their own financial support. In the same way each YWAM location is dependent entirely on donations.

  • YWAM is called to practice a life of dependence upon God for financial provision. For individuals and for any YWAM team or community, this comes through partnership with His people.

    YWAM staff, including the international, national and base leaders, are self-funded; we raise our own funds outside of the organisation to support the work we do.

    Every volunteer missionary joins YWAM with an understanding that they give their expertise and goodwill with no remuneration. As God has been generous toward us, so we desire to be generous, giving ourselves, our time and talents to God’s mission with no expectation of remuneration.

  • All our staff members are YWAM missionaries. We don’t receive a salary, but rely on relationship based support, monthly and one-time donations from friends, family, churches and other believers. Committing to support a YWAM staff member you are also participating in God’s mission in a significant way.

    Each missionary has their own support team to whom they report regularly. You can contact us or contact a missionary directly to ask for information on how to support them. Especially our local staff members are in need of more regular financial mission partners.
