Giving options

Open Plate

• Cash can alway be given during worship.

Envelopes

• A box of envelopes is supplied, one per week for a year.

• Requests to KenHutchinson or the church office.

• Parishioners are encouraged to commit to a specified amount to facilitate planning. However, requests for change will always be accepted, and envelopes can be "with no fixed amount".

• Letters are sent approximately quarterly, giving amount received. See Privacy of planned giving

Direct Debit

• This involves requesting UCAFunds, the financial arm of the UCA, to debit your bank account regularly.
  • This provides convenience, including reducing the amount of cash to be handled.
  • UCAFunds sends our Recorder a list of debits processed each month.

• See UCA funds for details and forms.

  • The Account Name is: "Glen Waverley Uniting Church Parish"
  • The Account Number is: 104527007
• Acknowledgement letters can be requested by email or regular post.

UCA funds deposit

• This is a tax effective way of giving, involving depositing money with UCAFunds, with the interest earned being credited to a UCA entity, in this case, GWUC, so that you do not pay tax on it.

• See UCA funds for details and forms.
