• 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. 
• For contributions to a Reliant fund to qualify as tax-deductible, they must be intended by the donor for use by Reliant Mission and the church/ministry and are not personal gifts for any individual, including any individual associated with the fund.
