Purpose:

The Church has established a discretionary fund for use by the minister to support the ministry of the church. This policy establishes the approved use and limitations of the fund by the minister.

Policy

  • The funds shall be in a separate UUCNH checking account under the control of the minister and the treasurer.
  • The Church is to periodically remind the congregation of the existence of the fund for use in times of financial need and that donations to it are always welcome.
  • The minister is to have the discretion to make distributions from the fund as the minister determines to be in accordance with the mission of the congregation.
  • The minister is to maintain the confidentiality of beneficiaries of the fund.
  • The discretionary funds may not be distributed to or for the benefit of the minister or
    members of the minister’s family.
  • To the extent feasible, the minister is to keep receipts for expenditures.
  • On at least a semi-annual basis, the minister is to report to the President of the Board of
    Trustees on the general uses of the fund with no requirement for specific details.
  • The minister is also to give the person maintaining the Church’s bookkeeping records the amount of funds used in order to maintain accurate accounting records of the fund balance.
