UGP BACKGROUND & MISSION STATEMENT
Since 1959, United Givers Plan of Packanack Lake (UGP) has contributed over $1.7 million to support local non-profits. UGP serves as a central collection point for allocating donations in support of a broad array of local Packanack, Wayne Township, and Passaic County area charities. Please click here for the list and descriptions of our current beneficiaries.
The UGP all-volunteer board ensures contributions are granted to organizations aligned with our Mission; those focused on:
Aiding the Addicted
Comforting the Abused
Feeding & Sheltering Those in Need
Healing the Sick
Helping Challenged Adults
Supporting the Youth
All potential beneficiaries are required to submit mission statements and annual financial statements. In addition, on-site visits are conducted by UGP board members each year. The amount granted to each beneficiary is determined by the following three criteria:
Value of the organization to society
Financial need
Geographical location relative to Packanack
