FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST FORM

PURPOSE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TEAM
The Financial Assistance Team of New Song Church is charged with the task of determining what constitutes true need according to biblical directives. We have been charged to be good stewards of the money God has provided to this ministry. New Song Church has always desired to point people to Christ’s hope, so in that same spirit, the Financial Assistance Team offers a hand-up in helping those who are seeking support.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
  •   Applicant must be truly in need, not simply looking for an easy way out of a self-inflicted financial jam.
  •   No loans will ever be made. Gifts will be given on behalf of those individuals whose circumstances meet
    the criteria as determined by the Financial Assistance Team.
  •   Financial Assistance is designed to be a help-up, but not a continuous source of household support.
    * Repeat applicants should expect increased input and involvement by the Financial Assistance Team in their personal affairs, including a requirement that the applicant attend a financial workshop, etc.
    * No more than two (2) offerings of assistance will be made in a given calendar year.
    * An established maximum dollar amount has been established and will not be exceeded per request.
  •   Financial Assistance will be paid directly to the debtor. No funds will be given directly to the applicant.
  •   Financial Assistance decisions will be made on the 15th and 30th of each month; no decisions will be
    finalized between these dates, thus emphasizing the importance of not waiting until a bill’s due date. * All paperwork must be submitted by the 12th and 27th of each month, respectively.

    ​PROCESS FOR RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

  •   Applicant must complete the Financial Assistance Request Form in its entirety. Note: no verbal requests will be considered.
    * Incomplete forms will require you to be contacted and will delay decision until the next deadline.
  •   Completed applications go in a sealed envelope and can be turned in at the Church Office.
    * Church Staff are not involved in the discernment process for Financial Assistance.
    * Please seal your envelope before handing it to a Church Staff member.
  •   The forms will routinely be picked up just prior to the meetings held on the 15th and 30th of each month
    by the Financial Assistance Team.
  •   A decision will be made on your request accordingly; you will be contacted within 3 business days of the
    decision meeting.
    * If you are in crisis and/or in need of a more immediate decision:

    + Please email or call-in with the details of your extenuating circumstances to: churchoffice@newsongumc.org or 804.559.6064
    + In your email, include that you have turned in the form to the Church Office after so doing. + You will be contacted within 24 hours.
    > If you do not have internet or phone access, please indicate to the Church Staff upon dropping off the form.
  •   If expenses exceed income, a request for further explanation will be made to document circumstances.
  •   If unable to meet the request at the time of decision, contact information to agencies in the surrounding area will be provided. Other studies/suggestions may be listed as a condition of receiving support.
