Thresholds

We are challenging each fund raiser to aim to complete their goal in six months.

We would encourage each missionary to aim for seeing 1/4 of their total goal raised every six weeks.  

Data indicates that each missionary should aim for approximately 60 partners. 

On average it is normal for a missionary's support team to be around 60 partners per missionary in the family unit. If both husband and wife are raising support it would be normal for their support team to be around 120 people.

It is uncommon for  a missionary to not meet these minimum standards as follows, up to 12 weeks out of training. We wanted to let you know that we have put a system in place to help support and keep the missionary accountable in the midst of whatever their circumstances might be. Again the goal is to help the missionaries in their season of support raising through any potential roadblocks that may come up, seeing them to 100% of their goal.

Minimum Standards for the first six weeks. 

We have seen that there is typically significant progress made in the first six weeks, when a missionary is healthy. This usually indicates that the missionary will likely reach their goal in the long haul.  Likewise, we have seen that lack of progress almost always indicates problems. We will watch for this. 

1. The minimum standard we hold for the first six weeks, is for each fund-raiser to see $600/month pledged in that time.
   1. We will do a second check at 10-12 weeks for those that had fallen short of the minimum standard. $1000/month pledged in fund-raising is our minimum expectation for the second check (at ten weeks).
      

If a missionary is not meeting the minimum standard at 6 weeks out from training Reliant will send an email to the missionary, coach, supervisor, and vertical to asses the situation. The goal is to help the missionary get back on track. Another check will be done at 10-12 weeks to see if the situation has unproved and if support raising is exceeding the minimum standards. If at some point in this process if it is deemed necessary the missionary will be issued a standard of performance which could ultimately lead to a termination of employment if the situation comes to that.
