Master Grant Agreements are customized for each church/project fund with information found on the church/project fund request form, but generally include acknowledgments of the following:

  • Agree in confirmation that Reliant and Partner have a signed Memorandum of Understanding
  • Agree to the purpose of the fund as outlined on this request form.
  • Agree that the grants distributed must be used consistent with the agreed-upon purpose of the fund.
  • Agree that if the purpose of the church/project fund changes, an addendum to change the purpose outlined in this Master Grant Agreement is required. 
  • Agree that the Reliant Point Person has read and agrees that all  (the church/ministry and myself) will follow the information outlined in the Funds and Grant-Making Policy for Churches and Projects.

  • Agree that I have read and agree that we (the church/ministry and myself) will follow the Grant-Making Standard

Many other items are outlined on the policy/standard but we wanted to highlight the following...

  • I understand that all contributions are the sole property of Reliant; Reliant maintains full control of the donated funds and ultimate discretion as to their use for Reliant’s ministry purposes. 
  • I confirm that clarity will be given to donors and any affiliated fundraiser and designated grantees so that they understand the church/project funds are supporting a pre-approved ministry purpose by a Reliant-approved church/project and ministry partner and are not supporting any individual(s). 
  • We (the church/ministry and myself) agree to communicate with clarity with all Designated Grantees that the Designated Grantee(s) will be responsible for applicable payment of taxes, withholding for employment taxes, compliance with local law, etc. A clear acknowledgment of these expectations for local compliance will also be noted in the Stipend Agreement that will be required to be signed by all Designated Grantees.


  • Reliant will not act as a conduit of funds for any recipient.
  • Reliant grants cannot be used to cause any private inurement or improper private benefit to occur. 
  • Reliant will take reasonable steps of due diligence to ensure that it is not otherwise assisting known or suspected terrorists through its foreign grant-making process.
