How to Donate
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21
Desert Tree Ministry operates on donations. 97% of each donation is applied to the needs of the project. The remaining 3% goes to our parent organization, Outpost Centers International, to help with their worldwide work.
There are always ongoing needs such as food, clothing, motorcycle fuel, phone credit, and other operating expenses. Please prayerfully consider committing to giving a regular amount every month to help cover these expenses. There are also larger special projects. If you would like to help with these, please see below for the status of these items. If we received more than enough for a certain project, we will re-assign those finances to the next biggest need.
