2012 Support Process
Mandatory IRS statement that needs to be included in every support letter: Due to IRS regulations all support raised by each STP participant goes toward the cost of the Summer Training Project and not an individual participant. Therefore, money donated for the STP cannot be returned if a particular individual were not able to attend the STP. Any gifts received in excess of the STP Budget will be used to further Campus Outreach Minneapolis Ministries. All contributions to Campus Outreach Minneapolis are income tax deductible and are under the direction of Bethlehem Baptist Church. The donor has not received any tangible goods or services for this contribution. Campus Outreach Minneapolis endeavors to use gifts where suggested. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that Campus Outreach Minneapolis has complete discretion and control over the use of all donated funds.
