Q:  If a Conference receives a large donation to be distributed to the poor and needy in the area where the Conference is located, and members decide to distribute the funds in increments of 25% per year over a 4 year period, would this be in keeping with the use of money as stated in Rule, Part I –3.14 and in Rule, Part III –Statute 24 and in Rule, Manual –Chapter 2.1 Funds of the Conference?

A:  When Conferences receive significant amounts of funds it is appropriate that they make a formal plan to spend it down. A Conference’s decision to distribute 25% a year over a 4-year period is acceptable. However, if the 25% is spent before the year is up the Conference should allocate additional funds from the balance to help those in need.

P: Si una Conferencia recibe una gran donación para ser distribuida a las personas que viven en la pobreza y necesitados en el área donde se encuentra la Conferencia, y los miembros deciden distribuir los fondos en incrementos del 25% por año durante un período de 4 años, ¿estaría esto de acuerdo con el uso del dinero como se establece en la Regla?  Parte I – 3.14 y en los Estatutos, Parte III – Estatuto 24 y en el Artículo, Manual – Capítulo 2.1 Fondos de la Conferencia

A:  Cuando las Conferencias reciben cantidades significativas de fondos, es adecuado que hagan un plan formal para gastarlos.  La decisión de una Conferencia de distribuir el 25% anual durante un período de 4 años es aceptable.  Sin embargo, si el 25% se gasta antes de que termine el año, la Conferencia debería asignar fondos adicionales del saldo para ayudar a las personas en necesidad.
