Revised 4/16/2015 8:05 AM Page 5 of 9
6 In the event that a required distribution as defined herein would encroach on the corpus Principal of the fund, the restrictions outlined in the Limitations on Use of Principal section shall be observed and prevent any part or all of said distribution until such time that the distribution can be accomplished without encroaching on the corpus Principal of the fund or funds.

Modifications to the Gift Acceptance Policy document only shall require a vote of four-fifths (4/5) of the Committee, approval from a twothirds (2/3) majority of both the Trustees and Leadership Board, but not a duly called Charge or Church conference. The Trustees and/or the Committee shall have the power, right, and authority to accept and to add to the Fund any and all conveyances, grants, gifts, donations, legacies, bequests, or devises, absolute or in trust, for the use and benefit of the Church or the Fund, which are now, or may be in the future, offered to or placed in the custody or control of the Trustees or Committee, subject to the following: 1. Every acceptance by the Trustees or the Committee shall be in conformity with the laws of the United States of America and of the State of Georgia and in accordance with the Discipline and any applicable directions of the Charge or Church conference, and the donor. 2.

Each named designated fund shall be approved by the Trustees upon recommendation of the Committee, and shall be administered in accordance with a written agreement between the Committee and the donor as to the purposes for which the Income of such fund may be used and distributed, which must be consistent with the intent of the purposes of the Fund as set forth in this Resolution. Additional gifts of any amount may be made to a named designated fund by the donor or any other person or organization.

To facilitate the establishment of named designated funds, a donor may begin with a minimum contribution of not less than $5, dollars.

Donations to the named designated fund shall accrue throughout the 5 year period, provided that at least $3, dollars is added annually.

There shall be a General Endowment Fund to which all undesignated Assets and Gifts shall be allocated. 4. Any acceptance of any property hereunder will require the Fund to hold the principal amount in trust only so long as the Church, or its lawful successor, remains an active institution. 5.

It shall be the policy of the Church to assign to the General Endowment Fund not less than fifty percent (50%) of any Church Gift or Gifts from a single source with a combined total value in excess of fifty-thousand dollars ($50,000.00), which is made to the Church, and which is not a specifically designated gift by the donor.

Donation amounts from donors wishing to remain anonymous will be included in the totals only. The Church, or any member, or any donor to the Funds may file an objection to the accounting in writing to the Finance Committee within sixty (60) days of the date of said accounting. In the absence of such objection, the Committee shall be released, relieved, and discharged with respect to all matters and things set forth in such accounting as though such accounting had been settled by judicial decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. LIMITATIONS ON USE OF PRINCIPAL One of the objectives of the Fund is to conserve corpus Principal and make use of or distribute only the Income from the Fund, unless otherwise specifically authorized in writing by the donor, or donor s legal representative, at the time the gift is made.

Any proposed amendment shall be in writing and signed by the Chair of each successive committee (Kingdom Legacy Ministry Committee, Trustees, and Leadership) before being presented to the Charge or Church conference. Such vote by the Charge or Church conference of the Church shall be in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Discipline pertaining to notice or otherwise. No amendment or modification shall (1) alter the intent that the Fund be operated exclusively for the purposes stated herein, or (2) alter the intent of any donor. The Committee shall keep a written copy of all approved modifications as part of the permanent records for the Kingdom Legacy Endowment Fund.

JAMES METHODIST CHURCH OF ATHENS, GEORGIA, INC. on this day of, 20, meeting in (City, St.),, by a vote of votes in favor, votes against, and votes abstaining.
