NOTE: How YOUR Share The Plate Donations Work
- Share the Plate donations are distinct from your pledge.
- All donations made electronically or by check will appear on your end-of-year tax statement. Cash donations can only be acknowledged if you seal it in an envelope with your name and the amount contained therein.
- Check Memo:
- Any check not designated for a particular purpose in the memo line is credited towards your annual ‘pledge’.
- Checks designated in the memo as Share the Plate are split: half the amount is sent to Share the Plate, half is sent to general UUCW collections.
- Check Date:
- The recipient is designated by the date on the check only when a STP recipient’s name is not noted in the memo of a check.
- STP dates begin with a new recipient each Sunday and continue through Saturday.
- Transaction Date – Online or Text Donations:
- The same applies to electronic donations – the recipient is designated by the transaction date.
