If a Local Church has UCC Standing (Schedule 0) and is Active in the Database and Directories, they can go to the UCC.org website, and under Resources, there is a heading “Request 501(c)(3) Group Exemption Letter.” (Or simply click this link and bookmark it!) This link is directed to the Office of General Counsel webpage and a button, which allows churches to search for their church and download a letter with the church’s name and address on it. This is also useful for donors who are attempting to verify a church’s 501(c)(3) status. Churches do not have to log in to Database and Directories to download a letter.
