Philanthropy Services Fees
What do we do with your fees?
Just like the churches and charities we support, Stewardship is a not-for-profit too.
So when the administrative costs of services are covered, any surplus is reinvested into supporting charitable activities such as training, events and resources.
Fees
Stewardship is a not-for-profit organisation and our costs are always kept as low as possible. We reinvest any extra income into supporting charitable causes such as church planting and training Christian workers. It’s a joy to partner with you in this Kingdom work.
