We are pleased to announce that we now offer new giving options for individuals seeking to establish a fund that supports a specific ministry.  An example of this new gifting option is the newly created Ives Family Fund for Mechuwana. This fund benefits the ministries of Camp Mechuwana as family members contribute and invite others to do the same.  It is a wonderful alternative to Christmas, birthday or anniversary gifts.  

The above type of fund is called a "Donor Designated Fund" and can be established with a minimum gift of $2,500.  When the fund balance reaches $10,000, it begins providing an anticipated revenue income of 4% to the recipient.   Because the recipient is a qualified non-profit, all gifts to the fund are tax-deductible.  

 The Foundation will provide a fund template upon request and assist you with the creation and design of your Donor Designated Fund.  Please contact Gary Melville gary@umfne.org  for more information. We look forward to serving you and helping you create a foundation for your legacy.
