What's a partner?
A partner is someone who financially supports Bola Moyo on a regular basis through our Monthly Partner Program. Partners are incredibly important to us, as they help provide a steady stream of funds to allow us to confidently continue our programs in rural Malawi, year-round. Thus, they help us plan our budget and programs, and sustain the organization through thick and thin.
We currently have about 40+ dedicated partners, who give anywhere from $10-$250 each month to support our work. Our partners come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from people in their early twenties to retirees. We believe that no matter how much one gives, he/she equally contributes to Bola Moyo and our mission.
Though our current partners are helping in great ways, we still have a large need for new partners! Will you consider becoming a partner?

Do you want to give monthly without having to write checks? You can set up a Paypal account to automatically deduct from your bank account each month. Your giving date will be the same day of the month that you sign up. (If you sign up on the 14th, Paypal will automatically transfer money to Bola Moyo on the 14th of every month.) It's easy to sign up and easy to cancel your subscription if you need to. Please read more below, and use these buttons to get started:

PAYPAL GIVING FAQS
How do I sign up for monthly giving? To sign up, you can click on one of the above buttons (for the amount you would like to give each month). Paypal is a secure site. This site will ask you to enter your personal and billing information, as well as an e-mail address and a password of your choosing. Paypal will then send you an e-mail to activate your account. From that point on, Paypal will automatically deduct your donation from your account each month, on the same day that you first signed up. You can view your donations and change your preferences by logging onto www.paypal.com with your e-mail and password.
What day of the month will my donation be transfered from my account? You decide. If you want to give on every 1st day of the month, sign up for Paypal monthly giving on the 1st day of the month you would like to start giving. If you want to give on the 15th, sign up on the 15th, etc.
How do I change my giving amount? Paypal is not incredibly versatile, so to change your donation amount, you would actually need to cancel your current "subscription" and re-sign up to give a different amount.
How do I cancel my monthly giving? You can change or cancel your giving at any time. To do so, log onto www.paypal.com with your e-mail and password, then click on: my account > subscriptions > transaction details – then hit "cancel."
How can I give an amount that's different than the pre-set amounts on the above buttons? If you are just wanting to give a one-time donation, you can click on "give" to donate any amount. But to set up a recurring donation of an amount not shown above, you'll need to send us an e-mail to info[at]bolamoyo.org. We have to create separate buttons for every amount.
Can I be notified when each donation is received? Yes! Log onto www.paypal.com, then go to: my account > profile > notification. There, you can set the preferences for Paypal to send you an e-mail for each monthly payment. Bola Moyo sends out year-end receipts each January for tax purposes.
How much of my donation goes to Bola Moyo and how much goes to Paypal? Paypal charges a flat $0.30 charge for every single donation, plus 3%. So, if you give $50, $48.20 goes to Bola Moyo. If you want every penny to go to us, you can mail in your donation. See more info near the top of this page. Thanks!
