IRA Charitable Rollover Renewed Through 2009
Did you know that if you are age 70.5 or above, you can now make gifts to your congregation, the UUA, or other UU entities directly from your IRA—without including the IRA withdrawal in your taxable income?
This timely provision will be in effect through December 31, 2009.
To make a tax-free distribution, simply send a letter to your IRA custodian requesting a transfer directly from your IRA to the organization of your choice.
Annual Report on Congregational Giving Now Available
We are deeply grateful to your congregation for its contributions to the Annual Program Fund, especially during these complicated economic times. Without your generous gifts, your Association of Congregations could simply not function to provide the programs and services that our faith needs to survive.
Each year, we look forward to recognizing your congregations both at General Assembly and through the Annual Report on Congregational Giving.
View the 2008 Annual Report (PDF, 10 pages).
Growing Our Spirit Together
It’s not too late to sign up to participate in the second annual Association Sunday!
As your contributions to the Annual Program Fund keep your Association running, your generous support of Association Sunday enables it to fund the visionary and cutting edge projects that will strengthen our faith and secure its future.
Many thanks to the congregations that have already held their Association Sunday 2008 services! And to the many more that plan to celebrate all that we can accomplish together, as Unitarian Universalists, on Sundays to come.
If you haven’t yet signed up, do so now.
And email associationsunday @ uua.org with any questions you might have about Association Sunday resources, fund recipients, or where to direct your contributions.

As of October 21, 2008, the Campaign has reached 82% of its $50 million goal, including $17.3 million in cash and pledges and $23.9 million in legacy commitments.
