8.2. Outreach Project Funds Allocation

At the Juiy meeting of the congregation, a suggestion was made to simplify the process for managing fete proceeds and allocation to outreach projects in future as follows:

select outreach projects for the year;
use past experience to set a fixed amount for agreed outreach projects; and
then undertake fundraising to meet the target set.

The fete would be the major fund-raising initiative, but the shortfall would be made up by other fund-raising activities and if necessary, an allocation from the congregation's reserves. If in excess of the target were raised, this could be carried forward to the following year.

This was referred to the CommunityOutreach committee. Feedback may be available.
