On the whole we should regard
money as mother's milk:
it nourishes us and
it nourishes others.
That should be our
attitude to money.
It's not just a bank coupon
that we have in our wallet.
Each dollar contains a lot
of past;
many people worked for that
particular one dollar, one cent.
They worked so hard,
with their sweat and tears.
So it's like mother's milk.
But at the same time, mother's
milk can be given away and
we can produce more
mother's milk.
So I wouldn't hang on to it
too tightly.

as Mother's Milk,"

The petitioner can use the funds only for the cause he/she
requested it for and we ask for proof of participation.
This can be photographs, certificates, email of an institution or whatever shows that you used the funds for the requested purpose.
If for any reason the petitioner can’t attend the event, the money stays with The Offering Bowl and will be redistributed among the other petitioners. Larger donations will be returned to the donors if they wish.
In case the funding goal is reached before the 6 months period
has ended the petitioner should inform TOB and the web space
goes to another petitioner.
Once your fundraiser reaches its end date, The Offering Bowl will process your fundraiser and send the gathered funds to pay for your practice and study to the respective organization.
Either directly into their PayPal Account, otherwise a check will be mailed to the address indicated during the fundraiser setup.
Expenses for Travel which have been requested will be reimbursed or paid in by check or Paypal,
though we will need a receipt or some other kind of proof about them.
All this depends on the amount gathered.
