Requirements to join the Famili Fellowship Fund:

The FFF is a non-profit fund established in 2003 to provide assistance to Christian families who have children attending a non-profit Christian school in grades PreK to 12th.

 

The fund has very firm requirements for qualifying for scholarship.  The fund bases scholarship awards on a family being very active in their Christian faith community.  This includes active participation in the church services, ministries and in fulfilling the tithe.

    1. Tithe – to qualify for assistance the family must fulfill their tithe.  The tithe is determined by 10% of the net taxable income (IRS 1040 line 43).  The 10% of the taxable income needs to be donated as follows:
      • A minimum of 5% to the family’s non-profit church or faith institution and,
      • 5% to non-profit, 501 c(3) charities.  The church is such a charity so that all 10% could be donated to the church.  If other charities receive donations then the church must receive at least 5% of the tithe amount.
    2. At least one member of the family needs to be an active member of one of the church’s registered ministries.
    3. The family must actively participate in the liturgy/services of the church.
    4. The children must be enrolled in a non-profit Christian school. 

    The following forms and letters are required and will be used by the committee for applicant evaluation: 

    • Application for each child requiring tuition assistance.
    • Copy of year’s IRS 1040 Form – submitted by April 30th.
    • Copy of year’s Schedule A tax form – submitted by April 30th.
    • Verification of active membership in a ministry by May 1st.
    • Verification of active participation in your faith organization parish, church by May 1st.

    More Information and important documents:

Do not lay up for yourselves earthly treasures.  Moths and rust corrode; thieves break in and steal.  Make it your practice instead to store up heavenly treasure, which neither moths nor rust corrode nor thieves break in and steal.  Remember; where your treasure is, there your heart is also.
Matthew 6:12-21
