2016 Wesleyan Discipline: 2015:1

(1) District Obligation. The obligation of a district or provisional district shall be an amount equal to the designated percentage of the total base income, as defined in 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:2005:1–2, of all developing churches and churches of the district, subject to such exceptions and adjustments as are indicated in 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:2005:3. When this amount has been paid in full to the General Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer, for both the USF-General Fund and the USF-Educational Institutions Fund, a district has met its obligation to the United Stewardship Fund. The computations for the district obligation shall be based on the financial reports of the local churches as compiled by the district statistical committee (2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1352:1), prior to the annual district conference.
