Why we need your contributions

As a non-profit organization, Café 1040 depends on the financial contributions of like-minded individuals to carry out its mission. As a Christian ministry, Café 1040 takes seriously the need to show fiscal responsibility with God's resources.

As we pray for the calling of each student who inquires about Café 1040, we also pray for individuals willing to align themselves financially with the ministry's long term vision: to bring the gospel to the unreached.

If you value the mission, and you value the investment being made by staff, volunteers and students, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the ministry. Contributions can be made directly to Café 1040 (general ministry), to an individual staff member or to an individual student. Staff members and students are responsible for raising their own support.

Contributions can be made ONLINE, or payable to Café 1040 and mailed to the address below.

If your company participates in a Corporate Gift-Matching Program, please take advantage of this valuable benefit. Many companies will match or even double your gift.
