How our finances work
Everyone working with YWAM is a full-time volunteer, donating their time, labour, and skills to make what we do happen. This means neither David nor I receive any form of salary or compensation, and we raise support to cover our living expenses, outreach, and travel costs. Financially, we rely on the partnership and generosity of people who believe in what we are out to accomplish, and donate to help support us being here.
Would you consider supporting us financially? One-time donation and monthly partnership giving are both deeply appreciated.
How To Donate
There are three main ways to donate to support us, all options for one-time donations or setting up a reoccurring monthly donation.
YWAM Ships/Townsville website | Donations through the YWAM Ships/Townsville website, whether reoccurring of a one-time donation, will be issued an Australian tax deductible receipt.
When you come to 'Payment type' selection 'YWAM Townsville Volunteer Donation' and write one of our names (or a combination of both) 'Mellony and David Sillence' in the 'Recipient' field.
UK tax payers | Donations via Stewardship is the best way to donate. Donations this way are eligible for gift aid, which means that for every £1 given we can receive an extra 25p! This means a donation of 20 pound becomes 25 pounds, making it a great avenue to make a donation go further.
Bank transfer | Please get in contact with us if you would like to donate via a bank transfer. We can provide account details for either the UK or Australia.
Thank you for your support!
