Congregational Recognition

Honoring Generosity

Congregations giving to the Annual Program Fund (APF) are recognized and affirmed by a variety of methods, including at distinction at General Assembly; and in the Annual Report on Giving.

Recognition categories:

• Leadership Congregations—the fifty highest contributing Honor Congregations each fiscal year.
• 25 year+ Honor Congregations—those contributing the full requested contribution for twenty five or more consecutive years
• 10 year+ Honor Congregations—those contributing the full requested contribution for ten or more consecutive years but less than 25.
• Honor Congregations—those contributing their full requested contribution of the end of the fiscal year. Honor is used synonymously with the moniker "Fair Share Congregation".
• Merit Congregations—those contributing at least 20% more than the prior fiscal year.
