FaithBasedSolutions.org Is Helping Secure COVID Relief Funds For Churches In 2022

May 3, 2022

May 03, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - FaithBasedSolutions.org just launched a website dedicated to helping churches and faith-based organizations collect COVID relief funds that are owed to them. Readers can visit the website at https://faithbasedsolutions.org to find out more about how they can secure funds for their faith-based organization, read the FAQ, and begin the claims process by answering a simple 10-question form.

The company is encouraging churches, faith-based organizations, and other small businesses to avail of the benefits of the ERTC (Employee Retention Tax Credit), an initiative funded by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) of 2020. ERTC tax credits are credits (or refunds) determined as a percentage of payroll, which includes qualified wages and health plan expenses, in each quarter that the business or faith-based organization qualifies. Through the ERTC program, the government is still providing billions of dollars of unclaimed money that many churches qualify for. The money is not a loan and does not require repayment.

There are specific rules for determining eligibility by quarter and the dollars that can be claimed for each employee are limited. The 2020 ERTC program is a refundable tax credit of 50% of up to $10,000 in wages paid per employee from 12th March 2020 to 31st December 2020, by an eligible employer. That works to a potential of up to $5,000 per employee. In 2021 the ERTC program increased to 70% of up to $10,000 in wages paid per employee per quarter for Q1, Q2, and Q3 which equates to a potential of up to $21,000 per employee. Both full-time and part-time employees qualify.

The spokesperson for FaithBasedSolutions.org talks about the underutilization of ERTC tax credits by saying, “Many business owners heard of and made sure to sign up for the funds that were given out as a part of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), also a part of the CARES Act, that was administered by the Small Business Administration. The ERTC program, however, was administered by the Internal Revenue Service and was less popular due to several complicated reasons. Initially, employers could choose to apply for PPP or claim ERTC credits, but not both. Due to the differences in the structure of how PPP and ERTC gave out money, most businesses that had under 500 employees chose to take the forgivable PPP loans. However, on March 11, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law and included many modifications and expansions to existing elements of previous stimulus programs. This included modifications such as businesses that applied for and received PPP funds could now also claim ERTC credits, ERTC credits could be retroactively claimed for businesses that qualified in 2020, ERTC credits were extended through 30th September 2021 with lower qualification requirements, the per-employee cap on qualifying wages increased from $10,000 for all of 2020 to $10,000 per quarter for the first 3 quarters of 2021, and the refundable credit amount increased from 50% of qualifying wages in 2020 to 70% in 2021. It is, therefore, a very good option for small businesses and other faith-based organizations to bounce back from the disastrous effect of the pandemic that lasted for the last couple of years.”

A quick 10-question form on FaithBasedSolutions.org will help companies and organizations determine how much COVID relief money is owed to them. The form is a free, no-obligation, pre-qualification where the small business owners or administrators of the faith-based organization just have to answer a few, simple, non-invasive questions. Once the details are provided, the team of ERTC experts at FaithBasedSolutions.org can determine if they likely qualify for a no-strings-attached tax credit. Faithbasedsolutions.org has also created a video with details about these government funds for churches.

When asked why one should choose FaithBasedSolutions.org to pursue this government-provided monetary benefit, the spokesperson says, “We have designed our processes to guarantee the maximization of refundable credits for local and small to medium-sized businesses. You only have to spend 15 minutes of your time to find out whether you qualify, a promise that no other CPA firm can offer. We take no upfront fees to check whether you qualify and our fees are 100% contingent on your refund. We also provide detailed audit-proof documentation for IRS support. So don’t lose out on this opportunity while the government is providing the means to avail it."

Pickleball ambassadors urge active lifestyles

Pickleball ambassadors urge active lifestyles

For Leander Lazaro and Sarah Jane Lim-Narvasa, becoming better athletes is not simply about winning tournaments but building a healthier lifestyle, nurturing community and helping the next generation of players. The two professional athletes, introduced as Herbalife pickleball ambassadors, are promoting the company’s “Better Every Day” campaign, which encourages active lifestyles through exercise, proper nutrition and consistent improvement. During a recent media roundtable, Lazaro and Lim-Narvasa shared how their transition from competitive tennis to pickleball changed their approach to sports, particularly in physical preparation, mental well-being and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “I always say I love pickleball. Even when I get so stressed, I still love it,” Lim-Narvasa said. She said pickleball has also helped her connect with people, describing the sport as a bridge that makes it easier to form friendships. Lazaro said the sport has similarly helped him develop healthier habits while enjoying the process of improving. “In the process, I’m getting healthier. Because the habits that we’ve built over time, the workouts, the training, keep getting better every day,” Lazaro said. Both athletes said their approach to training has evolved since their tennis days. As adults competing professionally, they now pay greater attention to nutrition, hydration, sleep, strength training and recovery. Lim-Narvasa, who previously worked as a personal trainer, said maintaining a healthy lifestyle is about making it part of everyday life rather than simply pursuing a particular fitness goal. The athletes also discussed nutrition during tournaments, when matches can last throughout the day. Both said they are lactose intolerant and have incorporated Herbalife nutritional shakes into their routines to help meet their individual needs. Lim-Narvasa said she had initially been skeptical about supplements but became more open to them after finding products that suited her dietary requirements. She also stressed that nutritional needs differ from person to person. “It has to be aligned with your goals,” she said. The two athletes also emphasized the mental side of competition. Lim-Narvasa said her early tennis career came with pressure to perform and fear of losing. Discovering pickleball as an adult allowed her to approach competition differently. “I’m gonna protect my joy in playing pickleball. It’s about getting better. It’s not just about winning,” she said. Lazaro said he experienced similar pressure as a junior tennis player, particularly the expectation to win and prove himself. Through pickleball, he said, he has learned to focus on what he can control and has benefited from having a supportive community. Lazaro and Lim-Narvasa see growing opportunities for young Filipinos as more tournaments, courts and sponsors enter the sport. The two represented the Philippines at the recent Pickleball World Cup, where the national team finished 11th among more than 40 nations. In the future, they hope to help develop younger players to represent the country internationally. “We’re looking for that next gen of pro athletes. We’re not scared to be overthrown or whatever. It’s going to happen. And we want the next batch of athletes to be good country representatives,” Lim-Narvasa said. For the two ambassadors, the game ultimately represents more than competition. “Pickleball is just a start of a healthier life with more friends. And a community that you can get healthier and better,” Lim-Narvasa said.

Life is a circle

Life is a circle

Life moves in circles. Days repeat. Seasons return. People come and go. And inside every big circle of life, there’s a smaller one: the circle of what is actually ours to hold. In my control: My boundaries, my response, my energy, the way I speak, who I choose to spend my time with, my attitude, processing emotions, the way I treat others and my own self-talk. Out of my control: Others’ opinions of me, other people’s beliefs and behaviors, outcomes, the future, the past, aging, the way people behave toward me, external events, time, what others say about me and the way people treat me. When we forget this distinction, we get tired trying to manage outcomes and change people. We absorb words that aren’t ours. We carry the past like a backpack and the future like self-imposed weight. Where karma fits in In many traditions, karma isn’t punishment. It’s cause and effect. The energy you put out comes back to you. That means the things in the “in my control” circle are where you create karma: your response, your boundaries, how you treat others and your self-talk. You can’t control what someone says about you. That’s their karma. But you can control whether you react with anger or with calm. That’s yours. Karma reminds us that we’re not powerless. We simply don’t have power over everything. We have power over our next choice and our reactions. We also have the power to choose our dreams and carve our own paths. So when do we “step outside the circle”? We don’t step outside to control what’s there. We step outside to observe, to serve, to love, to witness — without attachment and without judgment. Step outside when you intend to help, not to fix. You can offer support to someone going through a hard time, but you can’t live their life for them. Step outside to plant seeds, not demand harvest. You can do your best at work, in relationships and in advocacy. The outcome isn’t yours. The effort is. You can also set boundaries with compassion. Sometimes stepping outside means walking away from how people treat you so you can protect the energy inside your circle. Life will keep spinning. People will have opinions. Time will pass. Outcomes will unfold. Your job isn’t to control the whole circle. Your job is to tend the small circle in the center — your heart, your choices, your energy, your peace of mind. Ask yourself today: “Is this mine?” If yes, act with care. If no, breathe and let it go. That’s where peace lives. And that’s where your karma is made. Affirmation: “I choose peace.” Love and light.
