Keep in mind when requesting your event advance we want you to aim high. If your partner church/network is covering deficit go ahead and request more than you need to prepare for unexpected expenses/emergencies so that you have plenty of money on hand. You will be returning what you do not use. We would rather you be prepared with extra than to not have enough. 

As you are deciding what amount you need to request, consider these things. 

• You can review your event participant gifts to know how your event fundraising is going to know if your budget needs to be adjusted. You can always ask your participants to pay their remaining fundraising goal out of pocket to ensure that they reach their goal. You can also ask your partner church/network to confirm they will make up for a deficit if needed.
• Please consider what purchases are reasonable and necessary (and budgeted) expenses when thinking through your request amount. 
• Your flight has already been paid for so you do not need to include that in your amount. 
• Anything that has been purchased for already you by Reliant would not be included in that amount. (See Event purchases prior to receiving event advance.)
• Make sure to include in your calculations of how much you have left in your budget by subtracting the Reliant fees: admin fee, credit card fee, insurance costs, and background checks if those were done by Reliant. Your expected Reliant fees based on your fundraising goals can be found on the fundraising goal form.
