Give Toward Real, Lasting Change in Southern Oregon
The Mission is supported entirely by the generosity of individuals, local churches, and businesses.
We never accept government funds — every life changed is made possible by the faithfulness of our community.
At the Medford Gospel Mission, your generosity helps restore lives through Christ-centered community, discipleship, and deep partnership with local churches. We focus on relational restoration—helping people grow in right relationship with God, self, others, and creation—not temporary fixes. Your gift supports long-term transformation rooted in the Gospel and strengthened through the local church right here in Southern Oregon.

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the Medford Gospel Mission, we declare that all donors have these rights:

II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the Mission’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the Mission’s most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured when gifts are designated for a specific ministry project or purpose, we will use our best efforts to apply those gifts to the intended purpose. However, on occasion more contributions are received for a given ministry project or purpose than is needed or can realistically be applied. When that happens, the additional funds may be used to meet other ministry opportunities at the discretion of the CEO/Executive Director and the Board of Directors of the Medford Gospel Mission.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
