Stewardship and Finance Committee
The Stewardship and Finance Committee is primarily responsible for developing and overseeing the budget of the Yearly Meeting. This includes consideration of the apportionment to be allocated between the local Meetings.
Each spring, usually on the first Saturday following Tax Day, there is the Annual Apportionment Meeting. Representatives from every local Meeting are invited to attend and provide input for the committee's consideration of the needs of the Yearly Meeting for the ensuing fiscal year.
The 2012 Apportionment Meeting was held on Saturday, April 21, at Valley Friends Meeting.
A document that details how the Yearly Meeting calculates the apportionment for each local Monthly Meeting is available here.

Annual Reports
Every spring, each Committee of the Yearly Meeting is requested to prepare a report of their activities over the prior 12 months. These reports are gathered and shared during Annual Session, and then are printed in the Yearbook for that year.
The available reports of the Committee, as they appeared in the Yearbook, from recent years are listed below.
In 2010 and 2011, Baltimore Yearly Meeting untook a project to consider the vision of the Yearly Meeting community. As a part of that project, each committee was asked to respond to a set of queries that had been promulgated by the ad hoc Visiting Ministers Committee. The Stewardship and Finance Committee's responses are available here.
