HOW DOES 10% GIVING WORK?
Formula: Base equals total paid for all purposes less the amount paid toward World Evangelism Fund and Approved Mission Specials. To be a ten percent church, the total amount given to WEF and other Approved Mission Specials must be equal to or greater than 10% of the total paid for all purposes.
Example: Total paid for all purposes = $100,000
WEF and other Approved Mission Specials = $15,000
Amount required to be a 10% church = $100,000 x .10 = $10,000
The church gave $15,000 which is greater than $10,000 therefore it is a 10% church.
Example: Total paid for all purposes = $100,000
WEF and other Approved Mission Specials = $9,500
Amount required to be a 10% church = $100,000 x .10 = $10,000
The church gave $9,500 which is less than $10,000 therefore it is not a 10% church.
