Can I use my financial institution’s online bill payment service?
At present we do not accept electronic funds payments directly to our bank account. Some online bill payment services, do not use electronic transfer of funds, but use an automated process to prepare a physical check and distribute that check to the payee. You may use this type of service to make payments to the Xingu Mission as follows:
1) Review the Xingu Mission contribution card. Use the “memo” or “account” field of your financial institution’s online bill payment form to indicate which Xingu Mission ministry you wish to support (the ministry should be one of those on the Xingu Mission contribution card).
2) Have the check made payable to The Xingu Mission in USA or Xtreme Mercy in Canada
3) Have the check mailed to:
Donations in USA

Alternatively, we do accept electronic payments made using PayPal. This service allows us to accept contributions via credit card or from your PayPal account. To learn more about making PayPal contributions see “How do I make electronic contributions online?”
How do I make electronic contributions online?
We have established a PayPal account to accept electronic payments. PayPal allows us to accept payments using credit cards or using funds you have moved to your PayPal account.
To use PayPal select the Giving link on our web site and fill out the required information. Each time you use the online payment process you have the option of making a one time gift or recurring contributions.
Please note that PayPal is a service that facilitates our receipt of electronic payments. PayPal is not part of or affiliated with the Xingu Mission and PayPal users must read and agree to PayPal’s terms and conditions. If you have specific questions about opening or using a PayPal account or about PayPal’s terms and conditions, you should contact PayPal not the Xingu Mission.
How do I make recurring electronic contributions online?
Our web site allows you to schedule automated recurring gifts to the Xingu Mission using PayPal. This method allows you to make payments on a recurring basis (monthly for example) without visiting our web site each time.
The recurring payment program offered by PayPal requires that you have your own PayPal account. Visit PayPal’s web site to learn more about opening an account and account terms and conditions.
If you prefer not to open a PayPal account you can make recurring payments using the Xingu Mission contribution card. If you use this method, each time you wish to make a gift you will need to visit our web site and enter your personal information.
How do I make one time gifts online?
Our web site allow you to make a one time gift to the Xingu Mission using PayPal. Using this method, if you wish to make another online payment in the future you will need to visit our web site and reenter your personal information.
The one time gift payment program offered by PayPal does not require you to have an existing PayPal account. However, PayPal processes your payment and you should read and understand the PayPal terms and conditions before using this service.
If you prefer to schedule automatically recurring contributions you may use the recurring contributions buttons on our web site This contribution option does require that you have your own PayPal account. (See “How do I make recurring electronic contributions online?” above)
After making a contribution will I get a giving statement?
Yes. Each month you make a contribution whether by mail or online you will receive a detail contribution statement to confirm the amount and posting of your contribution. The contribution statement will be accompanied by a contribution card and return envelope to aid you in your next contribution.
At the end of each calendar year you will also receive a detail statement of all contributions made during the calendar year. This statement will serve to document the amount of your tax-deductible contributions to the Xingu Mission for the calendar year.
How are contributions posted?
The Xingu Mission's policy is to honor restrictions placed on donations by donors. However, if more funds are received for a particular project or missionary's support than are needed, the Mission reserves the option of transferring the excess to the general fund to use where needed most. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
