How the money works

Member dues fund the program. The program funds the churches. The churches serve the zone.

Where every dollar goes, and how outreach money is released.

The flow

Three steps.

01

Member dues fund the program

Businesses and organizations hold a Nexus Membership Level.

02

The program funds the churches

Churches receive Directory Money and Outreach Money.

03

The churches serve the zone

Work is carried out in the neighborhood.

Church restricted funds

Two kinds of money, each with a rule.

Directory Money (KES 25,000 / $1,200)

Must be spent in the directory monthly. The church reports where and how much, never what was bought.

Outreach Money (KES 25,000 / $1,200)

Must be spent in the Promise Zone, and is held in the ACR Common Fund until released.

The outreach workflow

Eight steps from need to release.

01

Church enters the zone

02

Finds someone in need

03

Contacts the ACR Common Fund designated person

04

Reports what is needed and which address

05

ACR verifies the address is inside the Promise Zone

06

ACR checks the account balance

07

If funds are available, ACR releases them

08

If over budget, the request draws from the Overage Fund, first come first served

Important

Never paid to the church as cash.

Outreach Money is held in the ACR Common Fund and released on verified need. It is never paid to the church as cash.
