Purposes of and Qualifications Related to an Affiliate Fundraiser and Designated Grantees

Those restricted church/project funds used for stipend distribution to Designated Grantees by definition have a two-fold purpose: (1) to provide education, training, and spiritual formation for the Designated Grantee as they prepare for a long-term ministry role; and, in the course of fulfilling purpose #1, (2) to expand the church/ministry impact through the ministry activities of the Designated Grantee. Reliant provides the Designated Grantee a stipend to fulfill the purpose of the fund through conducting the ministry activities outlined in the Master Grant Agreement. Because the time commitment of ministry activities may not allow the Designated Grantee time to work outside the church/ministry sufficient to meet the needs of the Designated Grantee and his or her family, Reliant recognizes that some of the funds may be used for personal expenses. 

Foreign nationals may raise support as a deputized Affiliate Fundraiser through a church/project fund on behalf of Reliant under the conditions that the foreign national:

• Work alongside an existing Reliant partnership.
• Be identified and vouched for by a Reliant worker or church/ministry partner.
• Complete an assessment an assessment and application that is reviewed and approved by the Program Team.
• Be vetted using the OFAC Watchlist Verification.
• Complete training (given by the Program Team) for raising church/project funds on behalf of Reliant and become officially deputized by Reliant

• Complete a dual solicitation agreement (Dual Solicitation) if raising funds for both Reliant and another organization.

  Note

  Foreign nationals may raise funds on behalf of the church/project fund but do not receive an individual MTD fund number. If a registered foreign organization with multiple Affiliate Fundraisers partners with Reliant, they can request solicitor reporting tags be used for tracking donations. However, we can only provide the solicitor functionality once there are at least two solicitors. Also, the solicitor functionality is only available through online giving.
