Robertson-Wesley Reserve Fund
On May 21, 2013, the Board of Robertson-Wesley United Church (“Church Board”) approved combining the Emergency, Non-Capital, Deficit Reduction, Internal Endowment, and Capital funds into the Roberson-Wesley Non-Designated Reserve Fund (“the Fund”). The Board may make spending decisions from this Fund based on urgency and need where no other funding possibilities exist at that time. In accordance with the minutes of 2013 May 21, the Fund may only be used if its value exceeds $500,000. Should the value fall below, spending may only occur through Special Resolution of the Church Board, for emergencies or to fund operating deficits
Anniversary Legacy Fund
The fund was established to provide the funding Robertson-Wesley United Church was required to contribute in order to secure Historical Designation funding from the City of Edmonton in 2015. Excess funds raised were deposited in an investment fund from which the income earned is to be used to provide operating revenues for the church. The Church Board has the authority to change the purpose and use of the funds at its discretion.
