UCG raises money for local Christ-centered evangelistic organizations mainly through the establishment of an endowment. Our goal is to help these organizations to be able to establish endowments so that the income off the endowment will help with the operational expenses of that particular organization in years to come.

UCG also offers the ability to allow donations to be used immediately if a donor preferred that instead of an endowment fund.  There is also the possibility of a donor contributing a Charitable Remainder Trust, stocks, mutual funds, IRA's and real estate through the UCG Legacy Society.  We suggest that you talk to your professional tax advisor or financial planner about your estate planning if you are led to include United Christian Giving. Planned giving can also have tax advantages to the donor while they are living.  Please check with your own professional financial advisors.
