How is a Founders Fraternal financed?
It is helpful for a fund to be established within the bank account of a local church (often the leader’s church). Money can be received by offerings taken at the fraternals, through designated gifts (especially by people in the churches who may believe strongly that pastors need this kind of meeting), or even by special church offerings. The leadership group will often contribute more heavily to the expenses, but the costs should actually be minimal.
