Request for Financial Assistance for President's Registration for
National ACW Annual Presidents' Conference
(Titley Fund Guidelines)
Background
In 1996, the National ACW received a bequest from the Estate of Miss Mary (May) Godfrey Titley. The principle was held in trust and invested by the National Church on behalf of the ACW. To date, with accumulated interest the fund had increased to $25,000.00.
At the 1999 ACW President/Coordinator Conference it was decided that a bursary be set up from the Titley Separate Funds (interest), to assist with the cost of the Annual Conference registration fee for those Dioceses experiencing financial difficulty.
The following motion was passed:
1) That guidelines for applications for funding from the Titley Separate Fund be prepared by the National Coordinator and Ecclesiastical Provincial Representatives and be distributed to dioceses.
2) That a clause be included within the application guidelines, for funding from the Titley Separate Fund, indicating that up to 40% of the required registration fee may be covered when financial assistance is required.
In 2011, at the ACW Presidents'/Coordinator Conference it was decided to move the Titley fund into Anglican Church Women of Canada Trust Fund with the Anglican Foundation. The following guidelines where passed for the use of the Titley Fund Interest:
USE OF TITLEY FUND INTEREST:
1. The Titley fund is an investment of $25,000 currently held in a GIC (to be moved to the Anglican Church Women of Canada Trust Fund with the Anglican Foundation).(This could now be removed as it is not relevant – although it was part of the original motion).
2. Interest from this fund is transferred annually to the National Anglican Church Women operating account.
3. In practice, the foremost function of this trust has been to provide assistance to Presidents from Diocesan ACW’s without the financial means to completely fund the costs of attending the National ACW conference.
4. The fund provides 40% ($480*) towards the $1200* Registration fee.
(*or as determined by the National Board)
Guidelines for disbursement of funds:
1. To assist the Diocesan ACW President/Coordinator or Proxy only.
2. A financial statement must be included with the application (along with clarifying statement as to why assistance is requested if, from the Statement, "need" appears questionable).
3. If financial statement is not available, must state reasons for need or letter from Diocesan Bishop
4. No more than 40% of the registration fee can be disbursed per application
5. If a Diocese is sending a Vice President as well, she will not qualify for assistance
