Meeting twice a year, Spokane and Coeur d’Alene Connect members sponsor UGM projects and carry UGM needs before their church leaders and congregations to facilitate greater cooperation in the cause. Call 509.535.8510 in Spokane or 208.665.4673 in Coeur d’Alene for information about upcoming meetings.

“At North Church, we choose to support people already doing the work, instead of us trying to start up all these little independent ministries. And UGM is an anchor in this city. They’ve been doing it forever and doing it really well.”

– Olyvia Babinski, pastor

Legacy Giving and Donor Advised Funds

Legacy giving can be as simple as naming UGM in your will, but there are also several other options: donate stock, IRA distributions, donor advised funds, and more. Get in touch with us and we will connect with you personally to help you understand and move forward with your plans to benefit future generations of those in our care.
