Responsibilities of Board Members
Underpinned by the core principles, members of the Board will:
- Determine the strategic distribution of funding which the Council has allocated for distribution by the Board to dioceses and partner organisations to deliver the Church’s Vision and Strategy, in line with policies agreed by the Council.
- Approve funding proposals and oversee effective management of awards.
- Oversee the impact, through monitoring, evaluation, and learning, of the funding distributed on behalf of the Council.
- Report to the Council on its work at a frequency determined by the Council and provide an annual report each year to the Council suitable for publication by the Council to the wider Church, reporting on the impact of the funds which it has distributed.
- Ensure that the funds which the Board is responsible for distributing are distributed and applied in furtherance of the Council’s charitable objects, and for the particular purposes for which they have been allocated by the Council, and not for any other object or purpose.
- Ensure that its decision-making is as transparent as possible and that stakeholders, including critical voices, are effectively engaged with the Board’s work.
