Umbrella Gifts Can Make a Difference Now
“I believe it was 1916 when we four children were herded up to South Broadway to take the streetcar to North Yonkers and walk to the Unitarian Congregational Church of Yonkers to be enrolled in Sunday school,” writes Bill Thompson of Phoenix, AZ.
Bill’s involvement with Unitarian Universalism began almost a century ago. And since then, he has invested to strengthen Unitarian Universalism (UUism) by setting up several Life Income Gifts that, through the Unitarian Universalist Association’s (UUA’s) Umbrella Giving Program, would ultimately benefit the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Surprise, AZ.
At the age of 98, Bill has determined that he no longer needs the income generated by his Life Income Gifts and by terminating them, has chosen to make the remaining funds available to the UUA and the UU congregation in Surprise, AZ, now. Read more.
Gifts like Bill’s are possible thanks to the UUA’s Umbrella Giving Program which allows 100% of a gift to benefit any UU entities the donor chooses at no cost to the donor or final beneficiaries.
