This page reviews the annual report form process for Unity ministries. There is one form for all Unity ministries and a link to it was sent to the main email address we have on file in our database.
The Annual Ministry Report serves a number of purposes, all of which can benefit you and your ministry.
-
Your ministry contact information is updated so that we may stay in touch with you.
-
Your ministry is included in Unity Worldwide Ministries’ filing with the IRS. We must have your ministries Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) number to include your ministry in the report. If your ministry is not under our tax umbrella, we still need your updated information for our records.
-
Your attendance and finance numbers help us to track demographics and trends in Unity around the world which allow us serve you better.
-
Your youth ministry and program information allows us to determine what services and products will best serve you.
-
Your statistics give us figures to use when we apply for grants to fund specific projects.
-
By sharing overall statistics, your ministry can determine where you are in your growth compared to other ministries, and where you might want to place your focus.
-
Your entry in our new online Directory/Find a Ministry is updated. This supports individuals and families in finding you and your ministry!
Frequently asked questions:
I have several numbers from various government offices, which is the EIN number?
Your Employer Identification Number (EIN) is the one you use to report payment of salary or contract payments on a W2 or 1099. It is in the format of xx-xxxxxxx. It is not 44-0668175. If you are using this number, you should stop. It is Unity Worldwide Ministries’ number and should not be used for reporting your payroll. It is also not a social security number. (xxx-xx-xxxx)
The form looks different. Why?
Out newly updated online form (sent to your main email on file with us in January 2023), allows for ease and efficiency.
Why do we need to file by March 31 when our fiscal year is June 30?
We use a standard filing date to facilitate the data entry necessary to complete the IRS filing. When filling out financial info, you may choose from your fiscal year or the calendar year.
We have our own 501c3 not-for-profit number so why do we need to complete the report?
Your statistics, including financial data, are very important to us in calculating overall demographics of our ministries. We need an account of all Unity ministries.
Does anyone else see our information?
The information contained in your specific report does not leave our offices. We share only overall figures with our Unity community, and your ministry’s name, address and EIN with the IRS.
