Partner with Us Through Giving
At Unity of Davis we believe that when we share our gifts and resources, we are participating in the Law of Circulation. By consciously circulating our good, we step into the natural law of cause and effect or giving and receiving. As metaphysicians we know what we think about, we bring about and by consciously affirming that we have more than enough and giving with love, we are proving and strengthening that belief. Our beliefs create our lives. The Universe responds to our beliefs by giving us more of what we affirm.
There are many opportunities to support UOD such as; make a one-time donation, make an annual pledge, and give to the endowment (in memory of or in tribute to someone). UOD is a tax-exempt organization under section 501c3 and all donations are tax deductible.

QCCs can be made once a person is 70.5. In 2024, up to 105K can be paid directly from an IRA to charity.
These are most attractive for donors who are taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) to the degree that some or all of those distributions are not needed for family living expenses.
Many donors do not itemize deductions and, therefore, do not get a tax benefit from charitable contributions made from cash or other non-IRA assets.
However, if instead with a QCD, they can reduce taxable income to the degree that RMD distributions are avoided, which would have, if taken, added to taxable income. So, for non- itemizers they can still get a tax benefit via the charitable contribution.
Further, IRA assets are the least favorable to beneficiaries in that they are fully taxable and, with the SECURE Act, can no longer be stretched out over life expectancy (except for the spouse). So, QCDs serve to draw down the least tax-favorable assets.
