A Mission Giving Message to Local Unit Treasurers
Great news from the FL Conference United Women in Faith Treasurer, Donna Spear. The formal IRS Letter now indicates our organization’s name change. It reads “Florida Conference United Methodist Women dba Florida Conference United Women in Faith” (“dba” stands for “doing business as”). The Tax ID # did NOT change. What this means is that you do not have to change the name on your bank accounts. You can continue to use your existing bank account.
Please continue to pledge and give to missions.
Please make checks to the district payable to: South East District UM Women.
