- These guidelines shall be presented to all organizations seeking funding from Reliant, and shall be publicized whenever appropriate to Reliant donors.
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.
