Generously Investing for Tomorrow

The Southern Region is leading the way in the new fiscal year! The four districts that comprise the region will be experimenting with the new Generously Investing in Tomorrow (GIFT) program, a covenantal process unifying UUA and district/regional funding.

The Fair Share for 2013-2014 fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) is:

• 7% of reported annual expenses.
   
• This will represent both UUA and Region (district) Fair Share funds.
   
• Payments will be sent to UUA, and these funds will be then distributed between the UUA and the Region Staff.

The GIFT Program will be implemented and supported by a representative leadership team.

The APF staff and the Southern Region Team are happy to provide you with tools for understanding and explaining this change.
