Guiding Principle 5 – Sharing
Since a fundamental principle of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is that funds are moved within the Society to where they are most needed, conferences send excess funds up, normally keeping a balance in their account of no more than three months reserve (i.e. the average amount that they would spend in three months).
