Support UUCD

1. Shop Amazon.com.  Each time you enter the amazon.com website from this page, you get Amazon's discounted price, and UUCD gets a percentage of anything you buy from amazon.com or its affiliates. (iGive also links to Amazon, but the donation is much less, typically only 1%.)

If you want to go directly to amazon.com without entering a search, just click on the bottom portion of the image.

2. Shop iGive.  Every time you shop at any of 700+ online stores in the iGive network, a portion of the purchase price benefits the Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware. iGive is a free service, and you never pay more when you shop through them. To get started, just create your free iGive account by clicking the icon below.

3. Search the web through iSearch.  Part of the iGive.com service, each search through iSearch means two cents for us. And those pennies can really add up!

   If you already have an iGive account, click this image to begin searching.

4. Acme Gift Cards.  Make Money For UUCD While You Do Your Grocery Shopping! Acme gift cards are now available for purchase from UUCD, in denominations of $25, $50, and $100. You pay face value for the cards, and UUCD makes 5% on your purchase, at no extra cost to you. Perfect for people who regularly shop at Acme, or just to keep in your wallet in case you are near the Acme and need to pick up a few things. To purchase cards please see Mara Ormond after service on Sunday.

Planned Giving - Gifts Anyone Can Afford

Are you looking for a no-hassle way to support Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware (UUCD)? How about one that costs you nothing now? Here are two ideas to consider:

Bequests are the easiest and most common way to include a charity in your long-term planning, and they are critically important to ensuring Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware's future viability and strength.

Including Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware in your plans can be as simple as adding a codicil to an existing will. If you would like to make a bequest, just review the following language with your attorney:

I give, devise, and bequeath to Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware, tax identification number 27-0264979, 340 North Queen Street, Dover, Delaware, 19901, (insert total amount, percentage, or remainder of estate) to be used for general operations (or your designated purpose).

You can set aside a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or give Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware any assets left over after you have provided for your loved ones.

For more information on living trusts click here.

Naming Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware as a beneficiary of these accounts allows you to make a gift without the need to change an existing will or other financial plans. And like charitable bequests, these gifts may be revoked if your plans or circumstances change.

Because of the unfavorable tax consequences of leaving tax-deferred accounts (like many retirement plans) to non-spousal beneficiaries, these assets can be particularly good candidates for charitable giving.

For example, when you name a child as the beneficiary of a retirement account, the account is subject to estate taxation. On top of that, your child would have to pay income tax on the distribution of these plan assets. As a charitable gift, however, the full amount of the account goes to Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware and our mission.

These gifts will help secure Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware's future for years to come. Please let us know if you have already made arrangements to include Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware in your plans. Doing so allows us the opportunity to express our appreciation for your support.

For more information, please do not hesitate to contact our Pastor at 302-233-7754 or email us at contact@uucd.org.

Thank you for your consideration.
