NEW! TREASURER RESOURCES

Treasurers Tip

Mission takes money, of course!

It's our responsibility to support what we, as United Women in Faith, have already committed to missions around the world. Our donations and funds we raise together make mission happen. They become the love in action that is changing the world!


Have questions about how your group's funds are handled or where the money goes? See the new TREASURER RESOURCES section on our website. The current Treasurer's Tip is about handling end-of-year-funds.

Send your general questions and the answer will be shared with everyone in the future. Contact your District Treasurer with specific questions, of course.
