All church and project funds must be vetted first to confirm the church/ministry partnership with Reliant. A church/ministry is a partner with Reliant when either a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) related to employment services with Reliant or a Non-Employee Partnership Memorandum of Understanding - New Partner has been signed. 

Purpose:

The purpose of the fund must be consistent with Reliant's tax-exempt purpose. Distributions from the fund cannot be used for any purpose other than those approved by Reliant. Reliant considers activities to be consistent with its tax-exempt purposes when such activities generally accord with services common to Christian ministries and societies. Reliant interprets the phrases in our tax-exempt purpose "to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ" and "to conduct and extend missionary work" as incorporating a wide variety of services performed under the banner of the gospel of Christ including works of service and other actions and activities done for the purpose of fostering relationships, building trust, garnering credibility with the community, and conveying the Word of God via "all methods of communication." Evangelical Christian work also incorporates all elements of caring for the welfare of the workers who are conducting gospel work. Therefore, when considering the establishment of church/project funds and the approval of grants using church/project funds, Reliant deems that our tax-exempt purposes align with humanitarian and community service-based projects, as well as traditional gospel projects.
