Our Charitable Purpose

Control and Use of Contributions
All donations are made to Mountain Mercy Ministries, Inc. Mountain Mercy Ministries retains exclusive legal control and discretion over donated funds and makes all decisions concerning the selection of charitable beneficiaries.
A reference to a particular person or family does not make the donation a personal gift to that individual. Donations support Mountain Mercy Ministries’ established charitable programs, through which assistance may be provided according to ministry policies, eligibility standards, available resources, and charitable need.
Unrestricted donations may be used wherever Mountain Mercy Ministries determines the need is greatest. When Mountain Mercy Ministries expressly accepts a donor restriction for a particular charitable program or purpose, the organization will use the contribution consistently with that restriction.
If an accepted restriction cannot be fulfilled, Mountain Mercy Ministries may contact the donor for permission to redirect the contribution or issue a refund when appropriate or legally required.
Donation Acknowledgments
Mountain Mercy Ministries will provide donation acknowledgments as required by federal law. Unless a receipt or solicitation states otherwise, no goods or services are provided in exchange for a charitable donation.
When a donor receives goods or services in exchange for a payment, only the portion exceeding the fair market value of those goods or services may be deductible. Mountain Mercy Ministries will provide any disclosure required by applicable federal law.
