The Grace of Giving
Every family is integral to our success. Therefore, UCA asks that you prayerfully consider how your generosity can reflect your gratitude for God’s gifts. We know that a pledge will be a challenge for some of our UCA families, but every family should make a sacrificial pledge that entails sacrifice from your family’s budget.
Your Gift
Your gift can make all the difference in the success of the Light the Way campaign for the United Christian Academy. In return for financial support, you may be satisfied knowing that your generosity will positively impact you. Please contact one of the campaign volunteers or the Head of School to learn more about how you can be part of this historic campaign.
An outright donation can be used immediately to help secure United Christian Academy’s future. Gifts of cash appreciated securities, stocks, bonds, and IRAs are options for outright gifts. All gifts are tax-deductible, and United Christian Academy Center is recognized as a fully qualified, not-for-profit organization under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. EIN 88-1016660
Gifts of Cash and Cash Pledges
Gifts of cash may be mutually beneficial, providing funds for the UCA Foundation and tax savings for you. Pledges covering a period of three to five years are most welcome since the campaign goals and objectives are expressed over this time frame. Some donors may wish to consider longer or shorter arrangements. Flexibility is provided.
Gifts of Stock and Other Securities
Appreciated stocks, bonds, U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, and mutual funds make excellent gifts to the UCA Foundation at the same time resulting in additional tax savings for you. Contribute securities that have increased in value and avoid capital gains tax that is incurred when you sell appreciated assets. You’ll also get a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of the assets, regardless of what you paid for them.
Retirement IRA Giving
The IRA Charitable Rollover is a popular way for donors to make charitable gifts. It allows individuals age 70 1⁄2 or older to transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from their IRA accounts to qualified charities without incurring federal income tax on the withdrawal. The direct transfers to charity also satisfied the person’s required minimum distribution.
