We work with trusted and secure partners.

We've chosen to work with Payment Spring to handle the processing of credit card and EFT donations and the Site Stacker platform to provide our online giving experience. PaymentSpring is a major merchant processor that employs the highest industry standards for security and PCI compliance for millions of transactions and more than 40% of US-based missionary sending agencies use Site Stacker online giving tools.

* As of July 2019, SiteStacker and Payment Spring are new partners for these processes. If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact us at info@nationalschoolproject.com

Our donation forms are hosted by a secure server.

We use SSL to encrypt and secure our website pages, including our checkout page. Our payment information form securely captures your data and sends it directly to the processor.

We don't keep a record of your credit card or bank account.

The payment information you share goes directly to the processing bank. Your information is never stored on our servers so there is never any chance of it being seen by us or anyone else once it is entered. What if you want to call in a donation over the phone or send payment information on a paper response card? We enter your donation directly into our secure system and shred any paper with account information.

We use a token to save your payment method for future gifts.

Your full credit card number is never stored on our servers. Once we send your credit card information to the processor the first time the processor returns a token which is stored in our database. All future transactions are completed with this token, never with saved credit card or EFT data.

We take the donations of our many financial partners as a gift from God and deserving of the highest levels of care. We know we are accountable to God for howe we handle these gifts and resources, and also to our partners who trust us with some of their faithful stewardship for kingdom impact. Here are some of the ways we exercise that care of the finances we receive:

1. Culture of Integrity

All our staff are faithful and honest as honoring Christ. This culture of pursuing Christlikeness together is a strong foundation for all the formal systems and procedures.

Internal controls - Like all conscientious accounting teams, we have a system of internal controls that safeguard against any one person having unilateral control of spending or accounting decisions. These include multiple approvers on expenses, regular review of the donation and expense records, and separation of duties.

Cedarstone - Our team includes Cedarstone Holdings, based in Wheaton, IL, as our accounting partner who provides experience, efficient, and transparent bookkeeping services for NSP. Their team of financial managers and CPA's provide services to hundreds of Christian ministries and are part of how we ensure that all our fiscal responsibilities are carried out with excellence every week and every month.

Donor Intent - In our fundraising, we take care to communicate with our partners what impact their gifts will have and how the funds will be used. Once given, we honor donor intent to use the funds for the area of ministry designated, and only for that purpose. In the rare cases where a project cannot be completed, or has a surplus at the end of the project, funds are used for a similar purpose to advance the gospel.

2. Strong platforms

We ensure financial integrity by ensuring that our financial and donor data is stored securely. Our partner database is hosted securely with industry standard backup and security protocols. And the personal financial information including credit card and donation processing data is never stored on our servers, only processed through the credit card provider.

3. External accountability

In addition to a culture of integrity within our team, we take steps for external accountability and transparency. We value transparency of financial results as a ministry, and publish our financial information in a key places for review and comparison.
