Did UU Know?
Our local public radio station just finished their semi-annual pledge drive. One tactic they use to stimulate donations is ‘Matching Minutes,’ where a large donor offers to match all donations in a certain time period. Did you know the UUA has its own brand of matching minutes?
Yes, if you include UUCV in your will or trust, or simply add UUCV as a beneficiary to your IRA or 401k, we (UUCV) will receive $1000 almost immediately! Any amount, large or small, qualifies for the match. Your gift is matched by a generous $5 million grant from the UU Congregation at Shelter Rock. Imagine what an extra $1000 could do to enhance our worship, programs, and outreach/social justice work. Now imagine what could be done if 40 people in our congregation participated.
What’s the catch? The matching challenge runs through 2018, but it is first-come, first-serve; when the matching money runs out, the program ends. There is a very simple (non-binding) form to fill out. For information, call Stewardship team member Maura Raffensperger, 616-2466 or David Smith, 216-9331.
