Boquete Bible Fellowship is a US church organized as a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to BBF are deductible for US income tax purposes. Annual giving reports are distributed at the end of January to all those who have given by check or who have used giving envelopes with their name written on the envelope.
Giving here in Panama:
1. Checks drawn on a U.S. bank: make payable to Boquete Bible Fellowship. They will be deposited into our bank account in the United States.
2. Checks drawn on a Panamanian bank: make payable to Boquete Bible Fellowship Foundation. They will be deposited into our bank account here in Panama.
3. Cash: We encourage you to use the cash envelopes, available at the Welcome Desk. These amounts can be included on a year-end statement for deduction on your U.S. income tax return. Please fill out with complete name and contact information including telephone and email. (You need to do this the first time only; thereafter your information is in our accounting software, and you only need to enter your name.)
4. Online: By clicking the link below, you may donate by debit/credit card or ACH. IMPORTANT – If you make your donation out to BBF, the funds will remain with BBF. If you wish to donate to an organization outside of BBF, such as one of the many ministries we partner with, please make out your donation directly to that organization.
5. Zeffy Donation Platform: this option accepts Google Pay, Apple Pay, credit cards, ACH transfers and checks.
6. Yappy payment app: this option only works with certain banks in Panama and requires either the banking app or the Yappy app. These banks currently are Banco General, Banisi, Caja de Ahorros, Crediicorp Bank, Davivenda and St. Georges Bank. To use in the Yappy app, search for BBF in Comercios and then and select Boquete Bible Fellowship. You can then save for future use.
7. Zelle: Zelle is a convenient way to send and receive money with people you trust through your U.S. bank or credit union’s mobile app or online banking. All you need is BBF’s email address associated with our Zelle account, which is
give2bbf@gmail.com. The transfer of funds is typically available in minutes. Your bank will need to be a Zelle provider in order to use this payment method.
