Letter from the Chairman of the Board,
Blaque Lyn Haston
Dear Colleagues,
United Charitable Programs had an exceptional year in 2013. As a fiscal sponsor
for both Active Charitable Programs and Donor Advised Funds, we facilitated
fundraising efforts in excess of $11,000,000. Those funds were raised in a myriad of
ways by approximately 3,346 volunteers. These volunteers represent our more than
300 programs located in 43 states and the District of Columbia. In fact, more than $4.4
million dollars was distributed to various charitable endeavors all over the world, with much more to come!
We are very proud of the great work our programs and their volunteers do in support of many different charitable purposes.
They include educational scholarships and programs, faith-based initiatives, youth sports and child athletics/wellness, orphans
assistance, disaster relief, shelter and family assistance, and medical research and provision programs. Our mission is to enable
those with philanthropic intent to have an appropriate vehicle to realize those hopes and dreams.
None of this, of course, is possible without our superb administrative staff. Collectively, our staff has had more than 100
years of experience in philanthropy. It is their cooperative passion that drives our mission, and their individual expertise and
knowledge that makes it possible for those 3,346 volunteers to act on their passions and dreams and try to make our globe a
better place to laugh, live, and love — for everyone!
Each of our programs has available to it many services to accomplish their purpose. From online fundraising capabilities and
social media presence to good old-fashioned best-practices advice, there is no group of individuals I trust more for assistance.
Their can-do attitude and cutting edge insight is truly second to none.
I look forward to the coming year, knowing that United Charitable Programs is advancing fiscal sponsorship to an even
higher level. New cutting-edge fundraising techniques, more outstanding programs, and such administrative leadership as
reduced program insurance for activities to put more dollars to work on philanthropy are already under way! If you have a
dream or some cause you are passionate about and you wish to step into the fray, come and talk with us about how easy it can
be to live out that passion — and know you are doing it right! To learn more about us, and about fiscal sponsorship, please join
us online at www.unitedcp.org, or send us an email at [email protected]. You’ll be glad you did!!

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which
a 501(c)(3) public charity sponsors a project that may
lack exempt status. This alternative to starting your own
nonprofit allows you to seek grants and solicit taxdeductible donations under your sponsor’s exempt status.
This is exactly how UCP works!
UCP is one of the few charities in the United States
which offers fiscal sponsorship on a national level,
across all charitable missions. That means that charitable
projects originating from all over the U.S. can apply
for fiscal sponsorship with UCP and work under our
umbrella.
Fiscal Sponsorship = Instant Infrastructure!
Coming under the fiscal sponsor of UCP means that a
charitable program can get started right away, with all of
our services at the ready:
• State Fundraising Solicitation Registrations –
UCP maintains all required state registrations so
our programs can solicit donations and conduct
fundraising wherever they are in the U.S.
• Tax Exemption – All of our programs share our
nonprofit, tax-exempt status.
• Operations – Payroll, benefits, liability insurance,
fundraising help, ongoing training, it’s all here!
UCP maximizes the technology and tools to help our programs grow.
We continue to increase the capability and capacity of our programs by partnering
with companies and services on the cutting edge. Our Strategic Partner line-up
includes:

Donor-Advised Foundations
What are Donor-Advised Foundations?
Donor-Advised Foundations (DAFs) are a type of charitable
giving program that allows donors to combine the most
favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support their
favorite charitable causes at any time. We have DAFs that have
been established to support various charities, both domestic and
international.
We also have DAFs that have been established to honor a
loved one by creating a scholarship program or a memorial in
their name.
Make charitable giving a part of your family tradition by
establishing a Donor-Advised Foundation at UCP. It’s a
great way to support your favorite charities, and teach your
children the benefits of philanthropy!
We worked with our financial advisor to set up a DonorAdvised Foundation at UCP. We love the personal touch UCP
staff provides, and how easy we’ve found it is to build our
charitable plans along with our financial plans.
~A Donor Advisor of a Family Foundation at UCP
Donor-Advised Funds
vs
What’s the Difference?
Throughout this Annual Report, you may notice that we refer to donor-advised funds as ‘Donor-Advised
Foundations.’ Why?
Both a Donor-Advised Fund and a Donor-Advised Foundation ARE THE EXACT SAME THING.
However, we prefer to use the term ‘Donor-Advised Foundation’ because we believe that your Foundation at UCP
is an extension of your charitable legacy, rather than simply a “fund” to which you would contribute. At UCP, we
encourage family involvement!
We want to encourage you to use your Foundation as a charitable vehicle to build your own family legacy. You can
teach your philanthropic goals and values to your children, and their heirs. Your Foundation at UCP is a flexible
way to gain maximum tax deductions at minimal costs.
Like a private foundation, a Donor-Advised Foundation at UCP can be used to make
tax-deductible donations to be used to fund your family’s philanthropic vision.
Unlike a private foundation, however, a Donor-Advised Foundation allows greater tax
deductibility, and UCP accepts a wide variety of unique assets. A Foundation at UCP is a
much less expensive alternative to a private foundation.

Establish a Family and/or Corporate Legacy with a
Donor-Advised Foundation at UCP
UCP Donor Advised Foundations make it easy to prioritize giving
in your business or in your family!
Creating a Donor Advised Foundation (DAF) at UCP allows
you to focus easily on fulfilling your philanthropic goals without
administrative burdens. We go beyond traditional giving by
supporting our DAFs to create scholarship programs, memorial
foundations; generational succession as well as the more traditional
giving to virtually any U.S. based charitable organization. And, with so many citizens whose lineage is
from other countries, UCP offers our donors the ability to support many international organizations
through their Donor Advised Foundation.
y
G
enerosit
We strongly believe that everyone can give, no matter your economic level. That’s why we have very
low thresholds to get started with a Foundation at UCP. And, gifts can be recommended to charities for
as low as $100. Every dollar counts, no matter the size!
Companies Increase Impact in their Communities
Companies wishing to help their communities and engage their employees can work with UCP to
fund their Organizational Donor Advised Foundation with after-tax automatic payroll deductions
from their workforce. Employee advisory committees can then decide where to direct their pooled gifts
in keeping with their company’s charitable desires. Company visibility in the community is enhanced;
employees feel connected, and most importantly – the collected donations put more dollars to work for
those that need it most. UCP manages the entire process so that companies can enjoy the benefits of
giving without increasing their costs to do so.
Flexible Giving Options Combined
with Flexible Investing
UCP is not affiliated with any financial
institution which allows our donor advisers to
choose the company and/or advisor with which
they would like to work. We also have a wide
array of assets the UCP can accept, and we are
willing to work with the financial professional
community in a variety of ways to make
Charitable Giving part of every financial and
estate plan.
Families can share in the joy of giving through a Donor-Advised
Foundation at UCP!

“It is easy to recommend gifts
to any non-profit charitable
organization. The “paperwork”
is all taken care of, and we feel
confident that we are acting
within the law. We have enjoyed
getting to know some of the
people in charge. They are so
friendly and responsive to any
requests. Without the benefit of
a well-organized and carefully
managed charitable foundation,
it would be much more difficult
to make gifts to institutions and
organizations we cherish.”
