Event Participant Allowances provide funds to cover food, housing, and incidentals for event participants. These allowances are intended for meals purchased by individual participants.
Participant Allowance Request Form
Direct Deposits
If this is the first time Reliant has sent funds to the finance admin via direct deposit, we will reach out for their banking information. This email will come from Ramp, Inc.
Allowance Amounts & Adjustments
- The maximum daily allowance per participant is $68, subject to available funding and Reliant approval.
- The total requested amount should exclude meals covered by Event Advances (e.g., group meals, hotel-provided breakfasts).
- Please submit two weeks or more before your trip to ensure enough time for Reliant to send funds.
Disbursement Methods
Participant allowances are paid in one lump sum to the Finance Admin, who will distribute funds to participants.
- The finance admin can distribute funds all at once or daily.
Confirmation of Receipt
- If funds are given through the trip finance admin, participants must confirm receipt by signing a paper log or emailing confirmation to trips@reliant.org.
- The confirmation should state: “I received $XX for this trip on (date).”
- If funds are given daily, you can submit one log that says indicates the total amount received, rather than separate confirmations for each day.
- If funds are given directly from Reliant to the participant (available only for long-term trips and interns), the participant must still confirm receipt by emailing confirmation to trips@reliant.org.
- The confirmation should state: “I received $XX for this trip on (date).”
