Finances

How to live, grow and shine around the world ?

"Faith and Light is radically different from other organisations responsible for rendering services to people with disabilities: schools, centres, homes, care facilities, counselling and social services, etc. As a result, everything about money in Faith and Light must be consistent with our vision: we allow ourselves to be transformed by the intellectually disabled, always putting our friendships and the joy that results from them first. Money is only one of the ways to serve this vision." (General Rules of Financial Management in Faith and Light)

The needs 
 

  • The everyday life of a community does not require any resources from outside. A community's funds normally consist of contributions from its members and/or moneys raised through community projects such as cake sales, cards, small craft items, events, etc...

        The members join the Faith and Light movement by paying a contribution which helps to cover:
- the needs of the community  
- the expenses of the province 
- the functioning of the international and solidarity

  • A province is made up of 15 to 40 communities and contributes financially to the international association in order to maintain its functioning. This annual contribution is made through the financial participation of the members and/or through fundraising. 
     
  • Too many countries where Faith and Light exists are in a state of war, political or economic instability... With the solidarity funds donated we can, together with you, enable all communities to live their mission. The international solidarity funds are used to cover needs that exceed the possible financial effort in the provinces. Currently 2/3 of the countries where Faith and Light exists are in great difficulty...
