Discussion of how we want to proceed with congregational outreach projects this year.
Information from the chair.
There is currently no Congregation Outreach Project selection committee or Outreach Mission Group, so matters concerning outreach projects need to be directly considered at meetings of the congregation. I understand that action is taking place to establish a new Outreach Mission Group, so this may be only a temporary situation.
The March meeting of the congregation resolved to accept the 2021 proposed Congregational Outreach Projects for distributing the proceeds of this year's fete. However, since then the situation has changed with two of those projects being withdrawn and new rules for funding overseas projects have been introduced.
From now on, directly supporting overseas projects requires compliance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission’s (ACNC) External Conduct Reporting Standards. This means that considerable due diligence investigation is needed on proposed projects and on projects during implementation. There is an associated set of special requirements for approval, record keeping, and reporting. See http://wiki.gwuc.org.au/gwuc/ACNCExternalConductReporting. We have been advised by Synod, that there are also due diligence and reporting requirements if money is send overseas through a registered charity.
It will not be practical to consider specific projects proposed during the meeting without prior notice, because it is unfair to ask meeting attendees to make such decisions without sufficient time to consider the options.
Proposed Resolution:
This meeting of the Congregation of the Glen Waverley Uniting Church resolves to distribute the proceeds of this years fete as follows: GWUC Welfare $5000 (the amount requested), Friends of Ermera $4000 (the amount requested), any money raised in excess of $9,000 equally divided between Frontier Services and Uniting World.
