UUA Offering Help with Land Purchases
August 15, 2005
Congregations needing help buying sites for new buildings are invited to apply to the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Congregational Properties and Loan Commission, which has funds available for that purpose through a new program.
The program is being administered by Wayne Clark, director of congregational fundraising services. He says the program is an acknowledgement of the difficulty congregations, especially smaller ones, have purchasing land to construct adequate buildings in this current economy.
Congregations that are accepted into the program will be required to pay a third of the purchase cost, and the UUA will lend the congregation the balance. The congregation is required to build on the land within five years and repay the loan within seven years. The funds are from the Handing on the Future capital campaign.
For more information see the Congregational Properties and Loan Commission. Contact Clark at congstewardship @ uua.org.
