General Giving Donations Now Qualify for Tax Receipts

NZCMS can now issue dona­tion receipts to people who give towards General Giving (ie dona­tions to NZCMS as an organ­isa­tion). The reason NZCMS can now issue dona­tion receipts for General Giving is because of approval received from IRD (Inland Revenue Depart­ment). Any dona­tions given for NZ work (money spent within NZ) from 1 April 2025 are now eli­gible for a dona­tion receipt, includ­ing General Giving, Māori Evan­gel­ists, and the Wheels Ministry.

General giving is incred­ibly helpful to NZCMS as an organ­isa­tion. These dona­tions support NZCMS to keep doing our core mission — sending out global Mission Part­ners and Māori Evan­gel­ists, con­nect­ing the NZ Church to global mission, equip­ping NZ churches for cross-cul­tural mission, and dis­cip­ling young people for mission.

We have a new giving page on the NZCMS website to reflect this change. This clearly shows which dona­tions are eli­gible for dona­tion receipts and which are not. You will notice that giving to our global Mission Part­ners is not eli­gible for a dona­tion receipt because their min­istry is over­seas and Gospel-focused.

Thank you if you already donate to General Giving through NZCMS. If you would like to start donat­ing to General Giving, this would be a great help to us.

    Thank you, Tessa. I remem­ber Ray (and Jean) very warmly from our time at St Tim’s before we left for St John’s College at the begin­ning of 1987, and was excited many years later to learn of their visit to the Elli­otts in Uganda. (We visited them in 1997 on study leave.) That visit, and a later one, showed their quiet growth in faith and mission during the years. I praise God for Ray’s life and service, and pray for the Com­fort­er’s pres­ence to be so close to Jean.
