Mission Team Financial  & Cancellation Policy

Financial Authority

Disbursement of donated funds is at the discretion of the GO InterNational Board of Directors. For a gift to qualify as tax deductible, the donor must release control of how the money will be used. We seek to honor the donor’s preferences for the use of all donations.

Non-Refundable Deposit

There is a $250 non-refundable and non-transferable registration deposit for everyone traveling on a GO InterNational team. You are not registered for the team until the deposit has been paid. The deposit is applied toward the team member’s total cost of the trip.

Cancellation Policy

If you commit to participate on a GO InterNational Mission trip butare unable to fulfill your obligation due to illness or another approved significant life event or in the case of an event that is outside the control of GO InterNational or its local partner, such as, but not limited to government or military actions or severe weather events , you will forfeit the following:

1. $250 non-refundable deposit

2. Airfare cancellation fees

3. Other expenses incurred by GO on your behalf such as trip insurance, background checks, prepaid ground transport, lodging, meals and other expenses.

Upon filing a request for extension form, remaining funds may be applied to another mission trip if registered within 12 months of the initial donation date of your original trip. If you are unable to travel within 12 months, those funds will be released to support world missions where needed most by GO InterNational. Airline cancellation policies and fees vary widely and will be communicated on a case by case basis. Exceptions are at the discretion of the ministry.

Full Payment for Teams

Team members will not be permitted to travel with a team if they have not paid for their trip in full at the time of departure.

Responsibility for Team Travel

GO InterNational assumes responsibility for team members from the time of departure from the gate city in US to the return to that gate city at the end of the trip. Team budgets include transportation, food, lodging and other ministry expenses while on the field, but not for the travel days to and from the field.

Minimum age of team members

Anyone under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and complete our permission for minors to travel form and submit to the office.

Baggage Fees

Typically, team members are responsible for payment of their own baggage fees. You will be alerted in advance regarding weight limits and if additional baggage fees are expected on a trip.

Funds Raised in Excess of Team Cost

Funds raised in excess of the individual needs for a participant will be used for the full team’s ministry. Excess funds raised are non- refundable and do not carry over to another trip if the team member completes the trip. Exceptions are at the discretion of the ministry.
