Frequently Asked Questions

What will gifts support?

This campaign supports LIT’s general ministry. Gifts are unrestricted, helping sustain the people, coordination and practical infrastructure behind our work in Nigeria. Defined project appeals and donated resources are separate from this general-support goal.

Can I give without starting a fundraiser?

Yes. Choose Give to the campaign to support the general campaign or a participating fundraiser through Zeffy.

Where does my fundraising page live?

Your personal fundraising page is created and managed on Zeffy. Donations are processed there, so LIT’s website does not collect your payment details. Read our privacy information.

How can I learn more about LIT’s stewardship?

Visit Our Stewardship for our approach to accountability and annual IRS filings, and explore Mission Reports for accounts of the ministry in Nigeria.
