Retired Missionary Aid Fund

RMAF supports individual retired Brethren missionaries in financial need across more than 40 countries. The Fund provides for living costs, hardship relief, and Christian fellowship, helping to sustain dignity and wellbeing in later years. Beneficiaries are those originally commended from the UK, but their current residence may be anywhere in the world. The aid comes in the form of annuities, regular payments, and ad-hoc assistance, tailored to personal circumstances. There are no income limits or geographic restrictions, as eligibility is determined by the trustees through ongoing personal ties. The Fund focuses exclusively on this specific group, funding nothing beyond personal relief.

RMAF exclusively aids individual retired Brethren missionaries in financial need. No organisations, groups, or third parties qualify. Beneficiaries are those who were commended from the UK and have dedicated their lives to overseas service without fixed support. Eligibility is based on personal circumstances known to the trustees through ongoing relationships. The Fund does not accept unsolicited applications; support arises from direct contact and needs-led reviews.

RMAF does not fund organisations, groups, or third parties. It does not support projects, core costs, capacity building, or any causes outside its mission of personal relief for retired Brethren missionaries. Non-Brethren individuals or causes are not eligible. The Fund's entire focus is on individual financial need and Christian fellowship for this specific beneficiary group.

RMAF provides ongoing financial support through annuities and regular payments, supplemented by ad-hoc aid for hardship. The Fund operates through direct trustee relationships and needs-led reviews, without an application process. Unremunerated trustees personally know each beneficiary's circumstances and tailor assistance accordingly.
