The Financial Freedom Fund has been made possible by a $265,000 grant from the Lilly Religious Endowment.  It provides financial assistance to pastors and congregations in three areas:

• Pensions
• Educational Debt
• Health Reimbursement Arrangements

Guidelines for participation in one or all of these programs will be shared at the Best Practices for Pastor and Congregational Financial Health Conference, November 6-7, 2009.  Please note the ability to access the Financial Freedom Fund is based on participation in the conference.

For those participating in the Best Practices conference and the Finandial Freedom Fund, a team of consultants will be available to meet with you on particular issues related to your situation during the conference and throughout the time you participate in FFF.  These consultants are experts in the areas of clergy budgeting and tax, congregational budgeting, government regulations, pensions, educational loans, and human resource issues.
