Designated Giving Policy

Wycliffe Canada’s spending of funds is confined to approved programs and projects. All accepted and restricted contributions will be used as designated, with the understanding that when the need for such a program or project has been met, the program or project cannot be completed for any reason, or the designation is not for an approved program or project, then the funds that cannot be used as designated will be disbursed in accordance with Wycliffe Canada policies and guidelines.

Financial Statements

Wycliffe missionaries are accountable to their leaders and leaders are accountable to the board of directors. Furthermore, Wycliffe Canada is accountable to you—a person who prays, gives and promotes the work of Bible translation and other language-related ministries.

Our commitment to you includes financial accountability. Below, you'll find links to past annual reports. For more details on our financial operations, we also provide you with complete audited financial statements.
