Support Us

The work of Mockingbird is made possible by the gifts of private donors and churches. Annually we need to raise $475,000 to meet our budget, and with supremely limited overhead, your gifts translate directly into mission and ministry.

Can you help?

Please consider asking your church missions committee to include us in their annual giving. Mockingbird is a fully tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization.

There are several ways to give to Mockingbird:

1

Traditional Giving

Donations can be made out to “Mockingbird Ministries” and sent to:

Mockingbird Ministries
100 West Jefferson Street
Charlottesville, VA 22902

Online Giving

As a convenience, we are set up to accept online donations via Paypal. This method will allow you to give with a credit card, in any amount you wish.

You may give a one-time donation or setup a recurring monthly donation. We use the PayPal.com giving tools, so your donations are always safe and secure.

Option 1: One-time Donation. Simply enter an amount to be charged/debited from your account once.

Option 2: Recurring Monthly Donation. All monthly donors to Mockingbird receive a complimentary subscription to our quarterly magazine, The Mockingbird. Simply enter a recurring amount to be charged/debited from your credit or debit card each month (minimum of $10).
