Establishing a
Benevolence Fund Policy
Best Practices, Models, and Lessons for Church Leadership
Why does a benevolence fund matter?
VISION
A benevolence fund is a powerful tool for reflecting Christ’s compassion and helping those in crisis within or connected to your church community. It serves both spiritual and practical purposes—caring for those in need while reinforcing the Church’s role as a source of mercy and justice.
Compassion alone isn't enough. A benevolence ministry must be governed by clear policies, wise stewardship, and healthy boundaries to be sustainable, ethical, and effective.
DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE
Our goal is to reflect the love of Jesus by helping people in crisis, especially within our church and local community. Benevolence is not just about giving money—it's about building relationships of hope, dignity, and transformation.
