Frequently Asked Questions


Below are the answers to some of the inquiries we recieve. Have a question you don't see answered? Ask it Contact Us

1How much of my donation goes to end hunger by feeding people?
We strive to make it 100%. The reality is that payment processing and transaction fees make it slightly less. We promise that 90% of the funds go to programs aimed at ending the systemic cause of hunger or feeding people. We call the funds you donate at FastPrayGive.org each month “program funds”. Marketing and administrative costs help us to be successful; we call these “non-program” funds. If you would like to donate to help us with non-program costs visit our Administrative Cost Sponsorship page.

7What is the goal?
To build a movement to end world hunger. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. FastPrayGive.org provides a call to action to express this love through active works. Our goal is to inspire four million methodists to Fast, Pray, and Give to end world hunger. That is ten percent of the total membership of churches who are included in the World Methodist Council connection.
8How will my giving feed people?
Our partner, Rise Against Hunger, helps us to encourage exciting Meal Packaging Experiences at which new volunteers are introduced to the movement to end world hunger. During these events volunteers put healthy, nutritious food into packages that are sent all over the world.
9Why Rise Against Hunger?
They have a vision: A world without hunger. Since 1998, Rise Against Hunger, has been providing food and life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable. Since 2005, they have packaged over 200 million meals which have been distributed to international partners in 71 countries. See Rise Against Hunger website for up-to-date figures.
10Is Rise Against Hunger the only partner?
In 2017, we will open a grant program and receive applications to provide funding to other hunger programs that meet the requirements of the grant application. Currently, Rise Against Hunger is our primary partner.
11What is the target audience?
Anyone interested in ending world hunger who wishes to participate is welcome. Many faiths practice fasting, prayer, and tithing as core disciplines and we would love to join hands and end hunger.
12Do I get to package meals?
Those Fasting, Praying, and Giving are encouraged to help package food. Participation will be open to all who donate, but events will be located where they can be easily facilitated. Sites are selected with respect to introducing new people to the movement to end world hunger and the organization’s ability to continue to engage participants.
