Oceans of Mercy would like to provide several opportunities for people to help the HIV/AIDS victims of South Africa.

Volunteer

Oceans of Mercy Programs rely heavily on the help of volunteers.

Fund Raising - Volunteers are crucial to the success of any fundraising events (Golf Tournament, Run For Mercy 5K, Block Party, Dinner Parties etc.)
Operations - The operation of the organization (board of directors etc.) will be primarily by volunteers.
Materials and supplies - Volunteers coordinate donated medical supplies, books, clothes and more.
Mission Work - The Oceans of Mercy structure calls for the majority of employees to be self-funded missionaries, based on a model that involves family and community in supporting the individual financially.
Committees - A variety of committee members will be needed to meet specific needs, oversee specific projects, or to raise funds and materials.

In order to fund our projects, there is a need for funding from a variety of sources.

Cash Gifts - This type of gift provides a federal income tax charitable deduction on the givers federal income tax return.
Matching Cash Gifts - Many companies match donations made by their employees, directors, employee’s spouses and retirees.
Stocks and Bonds - Appreciated stocks and bonds can be donated as an asset to Oceans of Mercy, Inc.
Endowment Giving - The establishment of an endowment fund is a way to leave a lasting legacy to help the children of South Africa. There is a minimum amount required for the establishment of an endowment fund.
Government Funding - Investigation into funding from the USA and South African governments will be ongoing and extensive.
Missions - Oceans of Mercy, Inc. hopes to become the favorite mission of many Churches and/or Community benevolent groups.
