Gift Designation & Reassignment

It is the position of Christ Church that any donation given by a ministry partner in response to an appeal for a specified project will be used for that purpose. The church will begin to put the funds to work on that specified project in a timely manner. In the event that the designated project is fully funded, delayed, or canceled, the excess funds will be reassigned to a ministry need most closely identifying with the project for which the funds were originally given.

The ministry will review gifts given by a ministry partner for an express, designated purpose, to determine if the purpose can be achieved. If the gift is accepted, the funds will be used for the designated purpose.

With appeals for projects, Christ Church will seek to disclose this position while notifying the ministry partner in advance, of the organization's position. Although the final decision on the redesignation from an appeal for a gift rests with Christ Church, the ministry will seek to find an alternative project(s) that is compatible with the partner's giving interests and desires.
