What Modern Day Missions does

Modern Day Missions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in Arlington, Texas, that provides fundraising infrastructure and growth resources to Christian missionaries operating globally. Its core product is a proprietary donor management platform that enables missionaries to receive and manage tax-deductible donations, including personalized missionary profile pages, donation processing, tax-receipt issuance, and payout management. The organization reports over 1,300 active missionaries serving across more than 200 countries spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Central America.

The platform is complemented by a content layer aimed at missionary enablement: a biweekly podcast (mdmpodcast.org) distributed on Apple Podcasts, a video series, an interactive missionary map for donor discovery, and a library of resource articles. The organization is ECFA accredited and registered with Candid (GuideStar), signaling financial accountability and nonprofit transparency. Missionary distribution partnerships include referrals from Youth With A Mission (YWAM), Train International, and Exodus Cry, while platform distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via the modernday.org website and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn).

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and charitable contributions from individuals, churches, and organizations; the organization charges missionaries no fees for platform use. Leadership comprises an Executive Director (Marvin Slaton II), a Founder & President (Elias Reyes), and a small staff of 1-10 employees supporting operations. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Pushpay (Ministry Brands): Pushpay (now part of Ministry Brands) is a leading faith-based digital giving and engagement platform serving churches and ministries. It is directly comparable to Modern Day Missions as both provide purpose-built donor management technology for faith-based organizations, with Pushpay focused on churches and MDM focused on individual missionaries.
• Tithe.ly: Tithe.ly is a digital giving and church engagement platform purpose-built for faith-based organizations, offering donation processing, donor CRM, and mobile giving tools. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as an SaaS giving platform tailored to the faith-based segment, though Tithe.ly's primary customers are churches rather than individual missionaries.
• Donorbox: Donorbox is a recurring donation platform for nonprofits offering donation forms, recurring giving, and donor management. It is directly comparable to Modern Day Missions as a nonprofit-focused fundraising infrastructure, though Donorbox serves the broader 501(c)(3) market rather than specifically missionaries.
• Givebutter: Givebutter is an online fundraising and donor management platform built for nonprofits. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as a direct competitor in the nonprofit donation processing and donor CRM space, though Givebutter serves a much broader set of nonprofit customers.
• Network for Good: Network for Good provides fundraising software and donor management tools specifically designed for small and mid-sized nonprofits. It is directly comparable to Modern Day Missions as a donor management and donation processing SaaS serving the nonprofit segment.

Emerging players

• Bloomerang: Bloomerang is a donor management and CRM platform built for small to mid-sized nonprofits, focused on donor retention. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as a nonprofit-focused donor management SaaS, though it lacks the explicitly missionary-focused branding and content ecosystem.
• Keela: Keela is an emerging donor management and fundraising CRM for small nonprofits. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as a donor management platform targeting nonprofits, with a younger and smaller product footprint relative to established players.

Broad incumbents

• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): Cru is one of the largest interdenominational Christian mission organizations in the U.S., supporting thousands of missionaries globally. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as a major faith-based mission sending and fundraising organization, but Cru is a much larger incumbent that runs its own internal fundraising infrastructure rather than using a shared platform.
• Youth With A Mission (YWAM): YWAM is a global, interdenominational Christian mission organization with thousands of missionaries. It is comparable to Modern Day Missions as a faith-based mission sending organization and is actually a strategic referral partner; many YWAM missionaries are supported through Modern Day Missions' platform.

Others

• Missio Nexus: Missio Nexus is a network and association for Great Commission Christians that supports and connects North American mission agencies. It is thematically comparable to Modern Day Missions as an enabling organization in the evangelical missions ecosystem, but does not directly compete in donor management or fundraising SaaS.
