About Signs and Wonders Global

Organizational Bylaws – Summary

Who we are:
Signs & Wonders Global is a Christian nonprofit ministry governed by a Board of Directors that provides prayerful, fiduciary, and strategic oversight. We operate under the laws governing IRS 501(c)(3) organizations.

How the Board works:

  • The Board keeps at least 7 directors, serving 2 years with staggered terms for continuity.

  • Officers (President/Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) are elected by the Board and serve defined terms.

  • The Board meets quarterly; special meetings may be called as needed. A simple majority constitutes a quorum.

  • Directors serve without private benefit; reasonable, pre‑approved expense reimbursements may be permitted.

Membership & leadership:

  • The organization may operate with a general membership or as a board‑governed nonprofit (no voting members).

  • Ministry leaders (paid or volunteer) operate under Board‑approved policies and annual plans.

Decisions & records:

  • Decisions are made by majority vote unless bylaws require a higher threshold.

  • Minutes are maintained for all Board and official committee meetings.

Financial stewardship:

  • We adopt an annual budget, maintain prudent reserves, and perform regular financial reporting and independent reviews as required.

  • All funds are used for charitable purposes consistent with our mission.

Conflicts & ethics:

  • Conflicts of interest must be disclosed and managed (see policy below).

  • No part of the organization’s net earnings benefits any private individual.

Amendments & dissolution:

  • Bylaws may be amended by the Board with proper notice and voting thresholds.

  • Upon dissolution, remaining assets will be distributed to one or more Christian charities with similar purposes.

Conflict of Interest – Policy Statement

Our commitment:
We honor God through integrity, transparency, and accountability. Directors, officers, and key volunteers must act in the best interests of Signs & Wonders Global at all times.

What counts as a conflict:
A conflict exists when personal, financial, or relational interests could improperly influence—or appear to influence—official decisions (e.g., family or business ties to a vendor, compensation decisions, or grantmaking involving a related party).

Our safeguards:

  • Annual Disclosure: Board members and officers complete and update conflict disclosure forms each year (and whenever circumstances change).

  • Recusal: Anyone with a conflict must disclose it promptly, leave the discussion, and abstain from voting on the matter.

  • Independent Decision‑Making: The Board (or an authorized committee of disinterested directors) evaluates the matter to ensure it is fair, reasonable, and in the organization’s best interest.

  • Documentation: All disclosures and decisions are recorded in the minutes.

No private benefit:
We prohibit self‑dealing, excessive benefits, or any action that would compromise our charitable purpose or witness.

Financial Accountability

Stewardship before the Lord:
Every gift is a trust. We steward resources prayerfully and responsibly to advance the Gospel and serve people with excellence.

Our practices:

  • Board Oversight & Budgeting: The Board approves an annual budget, monitors actuals, and reviews variances regularly.

  • Internal Controls: We follow written financial policies covering purchasing, cash handling, approvals, reimbursements, and restricted funds.

  • Dual Controls: Two‑person verification for payments and bank access; segregation of duties for receiving, recording, and reconciling funds.

  • Regular Reporting: Timely financial statements are reviewed by the Board/Treasurer; donors may request our most recent annual report.

  • Independent Review: We engage an independent financial review or audit as required by law or Board policy for transparency and accuracy.

  • Restricted Gifts: Donor‑restricted gifts are used solely for their intended purposes.

  • Compliance: We meet applicable filing and regulatory requirements in our jurisdiction.

Our promise:
We aim to maximize impact, minimize overhead, and communicate openly—so supporters know their generosity is making a faithful, measurable difference.
