Above are three ways to support ministry in Uganda, plus links to information for donating stocks, bonds, and including ACTI in your will.
Important note! When sending funds for an individual Ugandan, please make sure to include as much of the information listed below as possible. I frequently get contribution saying "For Sam in Uganda" which is not very helpful. I personally know four pastors in Uganda named Sam. It is also entirely possible that the Sam they are trying to help, is not known to me at all. This is my biggest problem in getting funds to Uganda for folks who need help. Plus I should also add, if you continually get "urgent or critical" requests from the same person, be very careful. Life there is not that fragile. When sending funds for school fees, we prefer to send funds to an accountable person, pastor, parent, etc., rather than the school's head teacher or bursar, whom we do not know, and who have no accountability to us. It is not power that corrupts, but lack of accountability. Please include as much of the information below that is relevant. ACTI must track the funds we send to Uganda and such funds must go to ministries or persons known to ACTI or vouched for by the donor.
Make sure to add ACTItaxreceipt@aol.com to your contact list. ACTI is a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Organization, a Non-profit Organization in the State of Tennessee and a recognized NGO (non-governmental organization) in Uganda. ACTI is happy to help transfer funds to valid, accountable Christian ministries in Uganda. Most funds are transferred by phone for a percentage fee which is usually less than international bank wire fees. We do not charge or deduct a fee for this help, but would appreciate a small periodic gift to ACTI. |
