Message from George Kennedy:

Hi,
          When you make a corporate gift to the Rescue Mission Foundation (RMF) in the amount of $5000 or more; your designated grant recipient organization is required to match your gift.

One of the RMF Board Members will contact your recipient organization to let them know grant funds are available. They’ll be directed to the RMF website to the Grant Application Process section. This section explains exactly how the RMF granting process works, and what is needed to receive grant funds. Upon completion of the RMF requirements, and upon submission of their Grant Proposal the RMF Board of Directors will evaluate their application.

Your grant recipient will be required to match your funds, and RMF will help them do this by directing them to our ”Great Fundraising Ideas” assistance. They may chose one of our recommended methods, or chose some other way to match your funds. However, they will need to demonstrate a successful matching performance prior to RMF releasing your donated grant funds.

When you donate through the RMF your gift will go twice as far, it has the potential to make a double impact on the homeless community. Your money will feed even more hungry children, provides more nights of lodging to men and women living on the streets, and provide even more food baskets to needy families all year long. Make a wise choice today, and donate your funds for the homeless, through the Rescue Mission Foundation.

The Rescue Mission Foundation Requirements for receiving Funding.

1. Provide an executive summary of what they, (your recipient organization) intend to do with these funds, along with outcomes, and the constituency they serve.
2. The results they expect to achieved, and how these results will be measured, and monitored once these funds are released.
3. A description and diagram of their organizations current staff, present programs, past major accomplishments, and a list of board members, and other cooperating agencies.
4. Promotional brochures, of the organizations showing their: purpose, statement of faith, mission, and vision statement.
5. Detailed financial information that includes:

  1. Projected budget for current year.
  2. Copies (audited, if available) of the organization's financial reports for the past two years
  3. Per annum cost for administration and fundraising.
  4. Copies of there most recent IRS Form 990, and they’re IRS non-profit status determination letter (dated year of enactment).

An important message from our Board President, Jerry O, Roberg

Consider taking advantage of the expertise of past seasoned Executive Directors, all who have managed these types of complex programs, and have worked within these Rescue Mission ministries. Why not make absolutely sure that your dollars are headed to a legitimate well-run organization, and someone who is providing meaningful programs -- programs that are changing lives, and worthy to receive your funds?

The RMF is operated on a volunteer base; no board member receives a salary; we’re all volunteers, therefore, administration costs are kept to a minimum, and we charge no administration fees, or commissions for our service to you, or your recipient organization. The total designated amount of your gift is forwarded on to the recipient designated on your check once they’ve completed the requirements of the RMF for receiving a grant.

Thank You, and God bless

George Kennedy- a friend to the poor,

Jerry O. Roberg- RMF President, & Past President of The Rescue Mission Alliance.
