United Way

Did you know that you can designate University Lutheran Chapel as the recipient of your United Way contributions at work? It's true! While ULC is in no way connected to the United Way, we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and are eligible to receive United Way funds that have been designated by donors to support the Chapel and its work.

The following is from the United Way Twin Cities website:

Making a Designation

You may designate all or a portion of your United Way contribution to any qualified nonprofit organization as defined in section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. To read more about organizations that fit this designation, or to determine if your particular charity is 501(c)(3), go to www.guidestar.org

Designations need to be made and submitted at the time of the pledge.

Complete information, including the agency name, address, city and state is required to ensure that a designated gift is correctly processed. No numeric agency code is required.

Donor names and gift details are forwarded to designated agencies with each payout. Donor names will not be forwarded if anonymity is requested, or if a donor's employer doesn't provide detailed gift information.

Payment of Designated Gifts

Upon receipt, designated gifts made with cash, check or credit card are paid to agencies in the next scheduled designation payout beginning February 2006. Each year donors make pledges to United Way which are then paid through payroll deduction the following year. One third of each designated payroll deduction gift is paid out three times a year in April, August and December.

Piano Tuning to Benefit ULC

Laursen Piano Service will donate $20 toward the tuning of ULC's pianos every time you have them tune your own piano. Just let them know that you would like to take advantage of their Pay it Forward program to benefit University Lutheran Chapel.
