Questions & Answers

Please take a moment to scroll through our FAQ section. We believe it’s a great place to get acquainted with our site and answer any questions you may have about giving to our ministry online.

SPONSORSHIP AND GIVING

We’re excited about the options we’ve built in for online giving and sponsorship. By clicking on the Give Now button at the top-right of the page, you can make donations to any IGL project and find children available for sponsorship. If you do not already have an online IGL account, you’ll be asked to register as a new user and create one. Once you’ve done that, you can manage your giving, see your giving history, print receipts and more.

If you sponsor a child, Bible student, pastor or nursing student, creating an account will allow you to stay informed about your sponsored person, access his or her profiles and give special gifts to your sponsored child without remembering and entering their code. Your account will be directly linked to your sponsorships online!

YOUR DONOR ACCOUNT

Once you’ve created your donor account and signed in, you’ll see the Profile icon in the top right corner of your screen. Use the drop down menu as a reference for where you need to go to manage giving, contact information, sponsorships, recurring gifts and other important information.

Our site is completely PCI compliant, having passed a complicated security examination, and meets the highest level of security standards. The system allows us to be better stewards of your gifts through office efficiency. If you have any questions or concerns about our system, please contact our office at 888.352.4451 or by e-mail.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I registered as a new user, how long before I see my sponsored child’s profile?
If you have an existing sponsorship and created a new IGLworld.org account, please allow up to two days for your child’s profile to appear in your account. We are responding to new accounts in the order we receive them and as quickly as possible.

What is a Recurring Gift?
Recurring Gift is another word for commitment to sponsor someone or give regularly to an IGL ministry. It simply means you’ve pledged to provide for the person. You can find information about all your recurring giving (sponsorships) in your IGLworld.org account by clicking the Give Now button and logging in.

How do I register and create an online account?
Click on the Sign Up Now button to register and follow the prompts.

How do I purchase a special gift for my sponsored child?
If you already have an account with IGL, follow the steps below. If you do not have an account, once you create a new account, we do some work on our end to link your account with that of your child. You won’t see this link for up to two days, but once you do, giving special gifts to your child and making your sponsorship donations will be a cinch!

After your accounts are linked and two days have passed, follow these steps to make your sponsorship donation and/or give a special gift to your child:

Log into your account.
Once you’re signed in, click the Profile icon in the top right corner.
From the Profile drop down menu select My Sponsored Children.
Find the name of the sponsored child you’d like to buy a gift for, and the button to the far right of his/her name. Select Send a Gift.
You can then browse the gift options on the site and add whatever you would like to your cart. Once completed select Checkout. Since you are already logged into your account your child’s information will automatically be added to the gift.
