Reliant places a high priority on releasing grant funds directly to the organization approved to receive grants. Payment Grant disbursement can be sent by check direct deposit for U.S.-based organizations or by a wire transfer for international granteesorganizations.
- Reliant does recognize there may be instances where a direct deposit into an international Reliant missionary's bank account might be needed to avoid multiple conversion fees. Please contact us at projectfundraising@reliant.org if you need to discuss this option.
- It is preferred that the Special Grant Request form be completed or co-signed by someone other than the missionary who will ultimately receive the funds, even if that missionary is an approved signer on the project fund. However, this is a guideline for best practices and not a strict policy.
- Dave Meldrum-Green and Tom Mauriello will still do a thorough review and approval of all requests to avoid any impropriety in using the grant program.
- Reliant is able to pay grants for salary support for Affiliated Project Fundraisers directly, rather than first giving to the ministry. This will be discussed with the ministry overseer during the grant request review.
Appeals to these guidelines will be reviewed on a case by case basis at the discretion of Reliant management.
For wires, an International Wire Agreement should be completed to capture all the necessary bank information. NOTE: This Wire Agreement should be used for paying grants only, NOT used for payroll.
- Reliant will not physically transport hard currency for grant distribution. Reliant will use a financial institution for all financial transactions associated with grant-making from church/project funds.
- A grant direct deposit agreement form must be submitted for US bank accounts along with the project fund request form.
- A wire agreement form must be submitted for foreign bank accounts along with the project fund request form.
Grant disbursement is subject to available funds. One-time expense grants are normally disbursed upon approval. Recurring expense grants are disbursed monthly on the 10th of the month or the Friday before the 10th, if the 10th falls on a weekend or U.S. bank holiday.
Appeals to these guidelines will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of Reliant management.UI Button
