members are afforded the opportunity to nominate a person for the SMR pin. Persons to be nominated

can be UMW members or other individuals at First United Methodist Church of Lawrence, Kansas. The

proceeds from fund raising activities with a description of the organization. The description should include

the services provided, population served, funding sources, and relationships to UMW.

Each member will vote for three local agencies and three non-local agencies using the ballot provided. The

ballots will be turned into the UMW Treasurer for tallying no later than October 31.

d. In November, the UMW Treasurer will publish a master grid with the tally of the votes for each agency.

The master grid will reflect the percent of the vote and the amount the organization will receive. The

Finance Committee will make a recommendation to the UMW Board for approval and the board will vote

on the recommendation.

Special Requests for Funding: Since setting a budget and anticipating every need is not possible, special requests

for funding or donations will be considered by the UMW Board. The request should meet the following criteria:

Activity or need is mission-oriented

Promotes the welfare of women and/or children

A written request explaining the reasons should be submitted to the UMW President. If the request meets general

criteria, the request for consideration will be placed on the UMW Board meeting agenda and the requester or

representative will be invited to the board meeting in case additional information is needed to support the request.

The board will vote on the request and the president will advise the requester of the outcome after the meeting.

Requests for Scholarship Funds: Scholarship funds are available for women to request for activities and

educational events that support mission and/or the welfare of women and/or children. Scholarship requests should

be e-mailed to the UMW President. The request will be submitted directly to the UMW President. The president

will present request to the board for a vote. The president will advise the applicant for the board vote.
