Your local church or ministry may realize a need to raise ministry funds for start-up costs for a new church plant, special outreach events, or even unplanned facility and maintenance needs or other expenses that are not covered through an annual operating budget. One of Reliant's missions is to support local churches and ministries that they are partnered with. The Reliant Mission board of directors has a ministry project fundraising policy that could be a helpful solution to your local church or ministry.

Project funds are always in a ministry's name, never an individual's. However, project funds can be raised and used as salary support for a worker at your local church or ministry. Established Reliant partners are eligible to submit a request for a new project fund.

Ministry Project funds can be raised to be used for:

1. Fund Transfers to any staff MTD ministry account or another project account (see this Solomon page for information and the form)
2. Funding of the reimbursement of ministry expenses (see this Solomon page for some guidelines). This reimbursement option is limited to Reliant employees only who are eligible for our Accountable Reimbursement Plan.
3. Ministry Grants to cover project or program expenses. You can request a special one-time grant or a monthly ongoing ministry grant, whichever might fit the funding need at that time. See Grant Process to get started.
