Event advances can be used to cover all of the expenses needed for an event. An advance can be received up to 60 days prior to an event's official start date to help pay for pre-trip costs (visas, etc.).

If a an employed Reliant missionary at an event chooses to reimburse an event expense rather than use the event advance, Reliant's Accountable Reimbursement Plan policies will take precedence over event spending guidelines.

• For events where participants have raised funds to cover expenses, the amount of the advance should be respective to amount raised, reasonable per person going and length of trip, or as agreed upon with Reliant. The event finance administrator can decide whether to request the full amount needed up-front, or if the amount should be disbursed over several payments if the event will last for multiple months.
• For events where participants have paid a fee to attend and if the event is longer than one month, the event finance administrator may request up to $5,000 per disbursement, or as agreed upon depending on the event.
