Overheads

Barnabas Aid is a charity providing practical aid for persecuted Christians. We operate in the same way that Barnabas and the apostle Paul did when they took gifts from the church in Antioch to the church in Judea at a time of famine (Acts 11:27-30). Barnabas Aid does this by channeling money from Christians through Christians to Christians (local churches or Christian organizations already established in places of persecution).

For every $1 we receive in donations, we send more than $0.88 to be used for our charitable work globally. “Charitable work” refers to the projects developed by the local persecuted Christians we support, which means that more than $0.88 of every $1 directly helps the beneficiaries. This does not include our work in Western countries to raise awareness, encourage prayer and provide advocacy for persecuted Christians; all these activities, as well as our general administration costs, are included in our 12% global overhead costs.

If you allocate your donation to Barnabas Aid to a specific need or project, 100% of your donation will be used for that project and its costs. Nothing will be deducted from your donation for Barnabas Aid’s overheads. The costs of overheads are taken from donations to our general fund.
