Supporters of CHHSM organizations can establish a gift that will pay them income for the rest of their lives. The United Church of Christ (UCC) offers charitable gift annuities, remainder trusts and pooled income fund gifts which provide income, significant tax benefits and the satisfaction of supporting mission and ministry beyond their own lifetimes. Beneficiaries of these gifts can be churches, conferences, associations, national ministries, UCC-related colleges and seminaries, any CHHSM organization or a combination of any of these. Those who provide the UCC Financial Development Ministry (FDM) with a birthdate and receive a personalized gift illustration in minutes. The UCC FDM administers the gifts and United Church Funds manages the investments. Contact the financial development office at (800) 846-6822 or giving@ucc.org for more information.
"By creating eight UCC charitable gift annuities to benefit Uplands Retirement Village, where we have lived 17 years (since 1994), we have assured income, some of it tax exempt. Our UCC charitable gift annuities in 2011 will benefit both the 126-year-old Community Church UCC in Pleasant Hill, Tennessee, and Uplands Village, after our deaths. How satisfying to look at these Tennessee hills every day and know that our gifts will live on, benefitting many others." -- Franklin and Betty Parker
