Collecting Donations
IJM College Chapter Donation Page
This year, we are moving away from Kindful and instead using an IJM platform dedicated to college chapter donations. You can present this website as a QR code at your fundraisers for people to donate directly to your chapter’s fundraising page. This is to be the primary means for collecting donations.
Venmo Use Policy
If your chapter would like to use Venmo to facilitate fundraising, you are required to work in accordance with the following policy:
Mailing in Check Donations
If you receive check donations directly to IJM, email with the information of the donation (donor, school, president name and email, amount) so that it can be added to your fundraising page. Please then send the funds to the following address:
International Justice Mission
P.O. Box 96961
Washington, DC 20090-6961
Write the return address clearly so that IJM can accurately record where the donation came from:
[University Name] Campus Chapter Donation
President’s school mailing address
President’s school mailing address
Include a note with every mailed in donation package for IJM’s documentation: Your college name, the title and date of the fundraiser, your chapter president’s name and email address, and the total money raised (total in package).
Handling Cash Donations
If your campus has student organization policies regarding cash donations, please follow those carefully (e.g. using a locked cash box for fundraising events). In some cases, you may deposit cash donations into a school’s student organization account or bank account and then send the funds to IJM digitally or by mailing in a check.
Otherwise, you may mail cash directly to IJM by following the instructions above under “Mailing in Check Donations.” Be sure to send an email to with the information specified above, as well as including the described note in your package.
