== One off payments == One off payments can be made by direct debit to avoid handling cash. Thes go direct to the Congregation bank account, not via UCA funds. Please be sure to include an adequate description to identify the payment. The bank does not notify us of payments other than in the regular statement, and the Payer (source) is not available, so be sure to include both your name and the purpose of the payment. Sending a copy of the receipt to ChurchOffice is good practice. * Payee BSB is 033-052 * Payee Account Number is 922198 * Payee Account Title is "Uniting Church Glen Waverley" |

- The Fund seeks contributions from unencumbered Bequests (i.e. which do not specify moneys be used for a particular use) and, from gifts. Contributors may elect to have their names and/or amount donated listed in the Fund Register and published in the public Annual Report. Names may also be those of late family members. Contributions to the Fund are not redeemable.
- This Fund is invested through UCA Cash Portfolio, which is eligible as a Tax Concession Charity Fund.
- Only the earnings of the Fund will be used, on the projects chosen by Church Council. The capital is to be held in perpetuity. The earnings cannot be used for building development or maintenance, but might be used to buy labour, materials and equipment for a particular project. The projects to receive funds may be supported by a once off contribution from the Fund or may be supported over a period of years. There is no restriction on how often a project is funded. A case would have to be presented to Council for support.
