Online Benevolence Application

Part 1 - What is the Benevolence Fund?

The Benevolence Fund is a limited financial fund, made available by application to an individual who is in need on an urgent basis due to unforeseen circumstances. Eligible individuals are those who have attended Furnace Brook two times a month in the previous six months. The money is granted as a gift, and repayment is not expected. However, if the recipient desires to give to the church at a later time, the recipient is encouraged to give directly to the general fund. A maximum of $200 per year is the limit for each applicant, or household. Funds are disbursed to the party owed, not to the individual applicant. Your request will be reviewed in accordance with the attached Benevolence Fund Policy, which is included herein and is an integral part of this application process. The Benevolence Fund Application and Policy is available in the church office or at www.furnacebrook.org. You will be contacted if more information is needed. If your request is approved, it may take up to one week to receive funds.

Part 2 - What other help is available?

Our concern for you is not limited to your financial situation. We care about your emotional, spiritual and relational health. Would you like a pastor to follow up with you about these types of concerns? (Note: Your response to this question has no bearing on the approval of the financial request.)
