ANNIVERSARY FUND

The CIC (formerly known as LUF) created the Anniversary Club in 2017 as a way to:  

• Raise funds for facility and equipment enhancements that will help church committees perform their work.
• Celebrate members’ anniversaries in a personal manner. 
• Instill pride in the church facilities and equipment through publishing/labeling contributions.
• The name was changed to the Anniversary Fund sometime before 2020.

What is the Anniversary Fund?
The CIC believes everyone can contribute to the church in their own way. To make it easier, we have started the Anniversary Fund! The Anniversary Fund is a way for church members to make a difference in the church by funding small projects. 

Why?
Some of these projects could include groundskeeping needs, plumbing or electrical work, replacement of furnishings, or removal of dying trees. Many of them are items that have been neglected for a while.  Some will be completely new projects yet undreamed of.

How does it work?
Every year on the Anniversary of your membership we will send you a card in recognition of all your have done for the church over the years.  We will also send an envelope so that if you wish to help fund these small projects, you can send a small donation.

How do I participate?
Suggested donation is a dollar for every year you have been a member, your age, or any amount you would like to give. Contact a CIC Committee member for more information.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT COMMITTEE (CIC) ANNIVERSARY FUND

The Anniversary Fund is intended to benefit building-related expenses and projects (note: the Anniversary Fund is not intended to cover programming expenses). The Capital Investment Committee (CIC) reviews all applications for Anniversary Funds at their bi-monthly meetings. All funding requests must be submitted in advance of actual project expenditure, which will ensure a proactive use of Anniversary Fund monies.

​The CIC reserves the right to fund all, part, or none of the requested funding. The maximum amount awarded per project will ​be $3,000. Please submit a separate application for each project funding request.
​
HOW TO APPLY:
Complete the information below and hit submit. Once you hit submit on the form below, you will receive the following message: "Thank you. Your information has been submitted."  Funding recipients will be notified within a reasonable timeframe of funding awarded by the chairperson of the Anniversary Fund. Applications are accepted at any time.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT COMMITTEE (CIC)
PLANNED FUTURE GIVING

The Capital Investment Committee (formerly Lincoln Unitarian Foundation/LUF)  was founded in 1958 to accept gifts and memorials with the intent of supporting the future needs of the church's building and grounds (or as otherwise designated by the donor and agreed upon by church leadership). An independent committee comprised of seven members of the church appointed by the Board of Trustees manages foundation investments.

The CIC assets are invested in socially responsible investments.

There are many ways to give to the CIC. These include, but are not limited to:

• Designations as beneficiaries for assets such as life insurance, IRAs or CDs to the Unitarian Church of Lincoln.
• Wills and Bequests.
• IRA's and Retirement Plan Gifts.

Use the form to the right if you would like to communicate a planned gift to the Unitarian Church of Lincoln. This information will be kept confidential and only seen by the administrator and other financial officers. A member of the CIC board will contact you with any additional questions.
