Can I use an alias or remain anonymous on my profile?

Modern Day Missions (MDM) can accommodate missionaries who need privacy on their public profile — particularly those serving in restricted or closed countries where public identification could create safety or security risks.

The following privacy options are available:

• Alias display name: You can use initials or a non-identifying name on your profile and giving page instead of your full legal name.
• No public profile: You can opt out of having a public-facing profile page on modernday.org entirely. Your giving link will still work for any donors who have it.
• Minimal profile: A profile page with no photo, limited location information, and a general description of your ministry without identifying details.

Note: Your full legal name is still required internally for compliance documents (such as your W-9 for U.S.-based missionaries), background checks, and financial records. The privacy option applies only to your public-facing profile and giving page. If you are serving in a sensitive context, please indicate this early in the application process so we can accommodate your needs. If your privacy needs arise after you have already applied, contact your MDM support representative to discuss adjustments to your profile settings.
