The events gift policy below goes into effect when a missionary is purchasing gifts using the event fund to make a reimbursement through a normal Reliant reimbursement form. The rules below follow the normal Reliant event fund reimbursement policies. There are different rules for gifts that apply to those events who are receiving an Event Advances to make purchases or if Reliant is making the purchase for the event. See Allowed Event Expenses. |
Events typically involve a lot of work and many hands that came together to help make it happen. You may want to say thank you to those that helped by giving a small gift. However, there are many rules to follow before you can consider giving any gift that can be reimbursed by the event fund.
If you would like to give a monetary gift to say thank you to a church or ministry (ex. for the use of their space, etc.) you can request a honorarium check be sent from Reliant directly. See the Solomon page Speaker and Church/Ministry Honorariums for Events for further information.
You may want to say thank you to those that employed your event participants or churches that provided a meeting space, or even to the participants, etc. There are very specific rules for giving to all of these. Please read this pages on gifts (and the links listed) for more details information.

Corporate gifts
Corporate gifts can be given by the summer program to high ranking employers etc. These gifts do not have to be spiritual in nature, but they cannot include gift cards.
It is also allowable for petty cash to be used for the Summer Program Director (or other summer program missionary with approval from the Director) to take an employer, landlord, or other person that has assisted the Summer program out to eat for a single meal at a nice restaurant as a thank you. Please keep these meals to less than $40 per person and remember that alcohol cannot be purchased using petty cash funds.
