church fund
Congregation's collected money
A church fund is money collected and set aside for a religious congregation's purposes—building maintenance, charitable work, clergy salaries, or specific projects.
Churches typically maintain multiple funds: a general operating fund, a building fund, a mission fund.
The congregation raised fifty thousand dollars for the new church fund.
