• What is your premium offer policy?

  While we are so grateful for every gift to the Colson Center, Premium offers are not automatically sent as a thank-you for every donation given to the Colson Center in a given month. We are more than happy to send the premium to any donor who expresses interest by either giving through that month’s premium landing page or sending the corresponding reply card in the mail. You can always find the current month’s offer page by clicking the “Give Now” button in the corner of our homepage or by clicking the banner at the very top.

  If you are a monthly donor interested in receiving that month’s premium, please let us know by emailing us at info@colsoncenter.org.

  Please ensure you enter your current shipping address and allow a minimum of 4-6 weeks for your premium offer to be delivered after giving. Please note, we are unable to offer international shipping on premium offers at this time.

• What can I expect when giving to receive a premium offer?

  The only way we know that you are interested in receiving that month’s premium as a thank-you for your gift is if you give through that month’s premium landing page. You can always find the current month’s offer page by clicking the “Give Now” button in the corner of our homepage or by clicking the banner at the very top.

  When filling out the giving form on a premium offer page, please also ensure that you enter your current shipping address if it’s different from your billing address. 

  If you gave to receive a premium, please allow 4-6 weeks (due to shipping & handling) for your resource to be delivered. If the resource is a digital resource (such as a short course, etc.), you can expect that to be delivered to your email within about a week. 

  **Please note that we are unable to offer international shipping for premium offers at this time.

• I'm an international donor. How can I give?

  First of all, thank you for your support of the Colson Center! We’re deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership. Unfortunately, at this time we are only able to process American credit cards. 

  In addition, due to the very high exchange rate for checks drawn from foreign banks, we do not recommend sending checks that are not from American banks. If you have an American credit card, that is the best way for you to make a gift.

  Please note that if you are giving to receive a premium offer, we are unable to offer international shipping at this time.
