Our budget for SMP 2008 is $167,000.
The projected breakdown of expenses is as follows:

Office Expenses	$3,200
Publications/Printing	$3,000
Training/Preparation	$13,000
Mission Boards/Travel	$139,000
Fundraising Expenses	$8,800
TOTAL	$167,000

SMPers work together throughout the semester to raise the budget for the summer. We will be sending out prayer/support letters in February to our family and friends. We will do several fundraisers over the spring semester, including raising pledges, car washes, community work day, and finals week fruit baskets. Finally, we will ask our home churches to support us in both prayer and finances.

If you are interested in giving a tax-deductible gift toward the ministry of SMP, please make your check payable to STUDENT MISSIONARY PROJECT, and mail it to:

Student Missionary Project
501 College Avenue
Wheaton, IL 60187

If you would like a particular student to know that you donated to SMP in their name, please include the student's name on a note separate from your check, and we will pass it on to the student.

IRS rulings state that in order for a donation to be tax-deductible it must be issued to a group/organization and cannot be issued on behalf of a particular student. Therefore, in order for us to comply with these regulations, we cannot issue a tax-deductible receipt if the student's name is written anywhere on the check including the memo line (that includes initials and first names) nor can the name be marked out in any form.
