St. Mary Magdalen Parish Solicitation (includes Fundraising) & Grant Process FACTS AND QUESTIONS (FAQ) DUE: June 1, 2018 Vision of St. Mary Magdalen: To be a community of Disciple-makers. Solicitation (includes Fundraisers) & Community Building Events (PY 19) Application Thank you for inquiring about St. Mary Magdalen s fundraising/solicitation and grant process. As required by Canon Law (the law that governs the church), all fundraising and solicitations occurring either in the name of the parish/parish organization or on parish property must be granted approval by the Parish Finance Council. The deadline to complete applications is June 1, 2018. Please complete and forward to the Parish Office, Attention: Parish Finance Council. Grants, solicitations and fundraising approvals are only available to recognized parish ministries and organizations and, on a very limited basis, partner ministries and organizations. We are unable to fundraise for outside organizations, Catholic or otherwise. Parish ministries are unable to raise funds within the parish for outside organizations. What is the Parish s Fundraising Plan? What are the Fundraising Continuation Requirements? One of the Pastoral Council s goals for the parish is to spend more time carrying out Christ s work on earth, and less time trying to raise money. According to the pastoral plan of St. Mary Magdalen, by 2019, we will reduce all fundraisers through the parish and school to five, and all activities of the parish will net the end result of making disciples and disciple makers as well as engaging in physical (direct) service to the poor and vulnerable. In its instructions on the parish budget, the Pastoral Council encouraged the Finance Council to develop a process to decrease the amount of fundraisers so that our ministries and organizations can concentrate on the critical work of the Church. The process looks at the following criteria: 1) the direct correlation between the fundraising activity itself and the mission of the church, 2) the fundraiser activity must illustrate how it is making disciples, 3) the funds raised are to be directly used for a ministry or partner ministry of St. Mary Magdalen (no non-catholic organizations may are be the beneficiary of these funds, though exemptions include the Peace Orphanage, a pro-life pregnancy center or clinic or a diocesan entity with special permission); 4) how much profit the fundraiser makes (i.e., the fundraiser must earn income greater than expenses according to this time table: Amt. Raised of expenses Example In PY 15: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 66% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 16: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 50% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 17: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 40% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 18: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 33% of sales or gross revenue. In addition, in an effort to get closer to our parish s goal of making disciples as well as engaging in direct service to the poor and vulnerable, beginning this year, for every hour the ministry spends fundraising, they will be required to give the same number of hours engaging in service to the poor and vulnerable. (If you invite someone who is a member not part of your ministry St. Mary Magdalen Fundraising Solicitation & Grant Process FAQ 1

to accompany your ministry as they spend a Saturday raking our senior parishioners lawns, and they participate with you, their hours count double). If this does not happen, the fundraiser will not be renewed next year. As a guideline, the type of service/outreach project to be counted will be those that fall under the Corporal Works of Mercy. Other types of service (i.e., helping other parish ministries with their events) would qualify for a discipleship grant, but not as part of the fundraising continuation requirement. What if our fundraiser does not meet the new fundraising continuation requirements? Please apply for a Community Fest Grant. If that still does not meet your ministries required needs, please prepare a proposal (by June 1) with the proposed expenditures, any funding sources outside of the fundraiser (i.e., fees collected by participants) and what amount needed above and beyond the Community Fest grant request. If you designated as a parish ministry, you may be eligible for a Discipleship Grant. What if we want to just Solicit in some fashion (for in-kind materials such as a food or clothing drive)? In-kind solicitations must be approved first by the Corporal Works of Mercy Commission and must be in line of the parish vision and efforts. Once the Corporal Works of Mercy commission has approved, it will go on to the Finance Council for their approval. Deadline for these requests is also June 1, 2018. Only recognized parish ministries and organizations as well as partner ministries may fundraise or solicit within the parish or on behalf of the parish, upon the advance approval of the Corporal Works of Mercy Commission & Parish Finance Council. What if we want to Fundraise/Solicit in some fashion (for funds or any ask ), or host a Community Building Event? Please complete Solicitation, Fundraising & Community Building Event application. Only recognized parish ministries and organizations as well as partner ministries may fundraise or solicit within the parish or on behalf of the parish, upon the advance approval of the Parish Finance Council. What is the Finance Council looking for when it approves solicitations, fundraisers and other events? 1) It determines whether the event is funding the needs of specific parish ministries (Early Learning Center, School, Youth Ministry, etc.). While we do not approve the raising of funds within the parish of other non-profits, ministries may give their funds to outside organizations from Community Fest Grants or the Discipleship Grant. (They may also recommend funds be designated to an outside non-profit from the Mother Teresa Tithing Fund). Ministries may not raise funds in the outside organization s name. (i.e., a ministry may disperse funds raised through their community fest grant to the Missionaries of Charity, but ministries may not raise funds in Mother Teresa s or the Missionaries of Charity in their name.) 2) If they are community-building events (i.e., parish picnic, pancake breakfast, Lenten Fish Fry). 3) If they are solicitations events (i.e., food drives, clothing drives total 4 times a year). 4) The actual Fund-raiser needs to act our mission/faith (not just support it through the money it raises). If a group is to sell something, it must be Christian in nature (i.e., Keeping Christ in Christmas Christmas card sales, Dinner Theatre with a Christian Message). The ministry will need to articulate how the event itself will make disciples and disciple makers. 5) The Finance Council will ensure that the same type of fundraiser is not duplicated during a given year. If there is a duplicate fundraiser (i.e., two separate ministries/organizations are competing to hold a golf outing), one or all of the ministries/organizations will be asked to not fundraise. This does not include a fundraiser when two or more ministries are working together to support a jointfundraiser (i.e., School & CCW working together to sponsor an auction). St. Mary Magdalen Fundraising Solicitation & Grant Process FAQ 2

6) In an effort to reduce fundraising events to 5 by 2019 (as stated in the pastoral plan), this year, Fundraising events will be approved if they make a profit (income raised minus fundraising expense, not including the Benevolent/Endowment Tithe) and expenses must not be any more than 33% of sales or gross revenue. We will be looking at last year s summary report to determine whether that margin has been obtained. According to the Standards of Excellence: An Ethics and Accountability for Catholic Parishes, Dioceses and Nonprofits, the ratio of fundraising should be three raised for every one dollar spent (3:1 ratio). By 2019, the five remain fundraisers will have that ratio, along with being able to demonstrate that the event itself makes disciples and disciple makers. Amt. Raised of expenses Example In PY 15: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 66% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 16: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 50% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 17: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 40% of sales or gross revenue. In PY 18: For every dollar of sales, expenses can't exceed 33% of sales or gross revenue. 7) What type of service to the poor and vulnerable does the ministry plan to engage in this year? When is the deadline for applications? Applications are being accepted until June 1, 2018 for grants and fundraisers to be earned/accomplished during the Pastoral Year 19. They are to be turned into the Parish Office. Applications are also available after April 10 by applying on-line at: www.stmarymagdalen.org/parishinfo/leadership/fundprocess.htm. After that date, fundraisers, solicitations and community-building events will not be accepted. In-Kind Solicitation Applications are due by June 1, 2018. What period does the application cover? CommunityFest Grants, Discipleship Grants, fundraisers and community events will be allocated for Pastoral Year 2019 only (July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019). If you wish to schedule something between July 2019 and June 2020, please contact the Pastoral Associate (Lois) for further information. What if I applied last year, do I need to apply this year? Yes. Each year, the Finance Council is charged with reviewing and approving all fundraisers/solicitations for the coming year. Approval is required each year. The event will not be scheduled on the parish calendar until it is approved. Are there any black-out periods when we won t be able to fundraise/solicit? Yes. As referenced in the Fundraising Policy established in 2007, the dates in 2018 and 2019 that are black-out dates (when no fundraising/solicitation may occur) are as follows: July 20 July 25, 2018 (Feast Day celebration) October 19 21, 2018 (CommunityFest is the exception) November 1 November 21, 2018 December 24 & 25, 2018 February 16 through February 24, 2019 March 24 through April 1, 2019 (Holy Week with the exception of the Seder Meal) April 14 through April 22, 2019 (Time & Talent Awareness efforts) July 20 July 24, 2019 (Feast Day celebration) October 19-21, 2019 (CommunityFest is the exception) November 2 November 20, 2019 December 24 & 25, 2019 St. Mary Magdalen Fundraising Solicitation & Grant Process FAQ 3

This includes a blackout from bulletin announcements, pulpit announcements, ticket sales and advertisements around campus. To schedule a fundraiser or community building event past June 30, 2019, please see the Pastoral Associate. What do we need to do to apply? 1) Complete the attached application. The Finance Council will only review fully-completed applications. 2) If fundraising, please acquire the chair/president/supervisor s signature of the ministry/organization that the ministry is accountable to. If a C.C.W. Circle is fundraising, please make sure the C.C.W. president has signed-off on the fundraiser. 3) If you fundraised during Pastoral Year 2018 (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), please make sure the Summary of Solicitation/Fundraiser/Community Building Event Report (attached) is fully complete and returned to the Parish Office. Confirm that the Benevolent Fund/Endowment tithe has been disbursed. Please note, ministries have 30-days after the fundraiser to process the Summary and Benevolent Fund/Endowment Tithe. If after 30-days we have not heard from the ministry regarding this report, your application serves as authorization to disburse those funds automatically (calculation will be based on the gross income). If in doubt whether your fundraiser completed this form, please check with Lois, Heidi or Betsy (if a school organization).) If this report is not complete, it may delay your approval process. Unfortunately, no future grants or fundraisers will be considered or approved until a completed Summary Report is returned and an endowment contribution is made. What is the Benevolent Fund/Endowment Tithe? In order to ensure that we also think about our future as a parish community and the future of our ministries, a portion (ten percent) of the proceeds of each fundraiser will be designated for either the Parish or School Endowment. In this way, we are not only concerned about Christ s work at this moment, but also about funding Christ s work in the future. In that way, the legacy of the ministry is able to benefit future generations. The parish ministry/organization fundraising will make the choice of which endowment fund (parish or school or both) to designate the tithe. The amount of the tithe and selection of the endowment is indicated directly on the Summary of Solicitation/Fundraiser/Community Building Event Report and will be automatically transferred to the endowment once the report is completed. The Summary of Solicitation/Fundraiser/Community Building Event Report is due within 30-days after the fundraiser. If the report is not turned in within the 30-day period, your application serves as permission for the parish to automatically deduct your portion of the Endowment tithe from your ministry account (calculation will be based on the gross income, unless a Summary report is returned). What if we want to host a community building event instead of a fundraiser? A community building event s purpose is to specifically build a sense of community among our members, or show appreciation or recognition to those who help us carry out our mission. These events are either pre-budgeted (i.e., a thank-you dinner paid for by sacrificial giving or by the fundraiser), or have a fee associated with them to cover the costs. Unless the community building event has been specifically reviewed and approved through the budgeting process, it should pay the event (be self-sustaining). If the event raises more money than the costs, because it is not a fundraiser, any excess monies will go back to the parish to support all ministries, cover maintenance and other related expenses. A Summary of Solicitation/Fundraiser/Community Event Report is required at the conclusion of the event. St. Mary Magdalen Fundraising Solicitation & Grant Process FAQ 4

When will we learn whether our Fundraiser has been approved? Applications are typically approved on or before the end of July. The Finance Council spends the month of June and July reviewing the applications and hosts a meeting to consider each application. Once it has been approved, the Pastoral Associate will meet with Facility Scheduler to ensure that the fundraiser is assigned a date on the parish calendar. This year, we ask that you also include the date you wish it to show in the bulletin as well as have a table in the breezeway after Mass (if applicable) so we may reserve the space in advance. What if we have more questions? Please contact Lois at the parish office at 407.265.2317. Applications MUST be submitted prior to June 1 to be considered Please submit pages 5-10 of this application to the Parish Office Attention: Finance Council St. Mary Magdalen Fundraising Solicitation & Grant Process FAQ 5

SOLICITATION (including FUNDRAISING and IN-KIND Solicitation) and COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS PLEASE NOTE: THE SUMMARY OF SOLICITATION/FUNDRAISING/COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENT REPORT FROM THE MOST RECENT EVENT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY OTHER FUNDRAISERS/COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL. Only recognized parish ministries and organizations may solicit or fundraise within the parish or on behalf of the parish. These solicitations, fundraising, in-kind solicitations and community-building events should monetarily (if applicable) support specific parish ministries (Adult Center, School, Youth Ministry, etc.) While we do not approve the raising of funds within the parish of other non-profits, ministries may give their funds to outside organizations, provided that they do not raise funds in the outside organization s name. (i.e., a ministry may disperse funds raised through their community fest grant or auction proceeds to the Missionaries of Charity, but ministries may not raise funds in Mother Teresa s or the Missionaries of Charity in their name.) They may also be strictly community-building events (break-even ventures) such as a parish picnic, pancake breakfast, or Lenten Fish Fry. The actual event needs to act our mission/faith (not just support it through the money it raises). If a group is to sell something, it must be Christian in nature (i.e., Keeping Christ in Christmas Christmas card sales, Dinner Theatre with a Christian Message). We are applying to solicit the parishioners for (not related to raising of funds, but in-kind gifts instead (like clothing, etc.)) We are applying for a fundraiser We are in-kind solicitation (food drive, clothing drive etc.) Note: deadline for this application is also June 1, and it will go to review with the Corporal Works of Mercy Commission We are applying for a Community Building Event Name of Event/Fundraiser/Community Building Event/Solicitation: MINISTRY INFORMATION Name of Applying Ministry (must be a recognized parish ministry or activity): Contact Person Responsible for the effort: Home phone: ( ) E-mail: Signature of President/Chair/Staff: * The signature of the president/chair/staff member of each applying organization needs to be included in order to insure coordination. If a CCW Circle is applying to Solicit, Fundraise (Section V), please include the signature of CCW president. Note Bene: In addition, the ministry/organization recognizes the black-out dates for any type of solicitation, including but not limited to events on such dates, requests from the pulpit or bulletin, or other type of media available to the parish ministries. This means that the ministry/organization understands it will need to plan advertising, solicitations and events outside of those dates and will not request a dispensation.
