What is the OMP Fund?
The OMP fund is a common fund used to raise money to support all approved OMP projects. We raise money as a group, not as individuals. If one or two people in the group have shortfalls, the fundraising of the group will make up for it. In other words, it is a cooperative effort! Donations sent to the GCTS OMP fund become tax-deductible gifts. Funds raised in excess of costs will remain in the OMP fund. However, no money can be sent to Gordon-Conwell for your trip unless it is part of the OMP fund. Most students find the OMP fund a wonderful provision to assist in going overseas. However, it is not required. A student may prefer to raise money independently of the OMP fund, through their local church or through direct appeals. In this case, funds are raised individually, not for the team.
