Cincinnati Friends Meeting believes deeply in shared ministry. In some cases, an individual call to ministry might require financial assistance. In 2009, the Meeting set aside some of the bequest from Florence Anderson in order to provide support for such an undertaking, thereby establishing the Anderson Fund for Individual Recognized Ministry (AFFIRM). An individual with a leading to engage in individual ministry can read more about this undertaking in the Cincinnati Friends Meeting Handbook. The process of having an individual ministry recognized involves requesting a copy of Encouraging & Affirming Ministry packet from the meetinghouse office, requesting a clearness committee, receiving the approval of Meeting for Business, and completing an AFFIRM Grant Application if funds are needed.
Note: As of 2015, Cincinnati Friends Meeting has distributed most of the original AFFIRM grant funds to members/attenders for various ministries. The Meeting has yet to decide whether it will somehow replenish that fund and continue offering financial support.
