Union Gospel Mission is requesting funding to upgrade or replace aging operational equipment. This investment will increase the quality of services to those we serve and will help to reduce maintenance costs, allowing us to put more donor money back into our seven ministries.

Fundraising Strategy that will Fund the above Expenses

• We look to raise the funds through private foundations, the church community, businesses and private donations. Over 85% of Union Gospel Mission’s income comes from individuals, churches and foundations donations.
• With all funding, we will be working with suppliers to receive the best prices possible when having to purchase new items. In some cases, we will be working with a business supporter of the Mission to purchase items below cost.

Note: Spending of funds is confined to Board Approved Programs and Purchases. Each gift designated toward an approved program will be used as designated, with the understanding that when any given need has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason determined by the Board, designated gifts will be used where needed most. Gifts are acknowledged and receipted with an official receipt for income tax purposes.
