UNITY Legacy Fund Initiative | UNITY Legacy Support Fund

Long-term support for UNITY's founding vision

Paying for a trip, uniform, or membership? Fees are paid on the Membership Fee Form. A parent or guardian paying their own child's fees pays there. If you are a grandparent, relative, friend, business, or church paying toward a specific student's trip, use the same form: your payment is recorded as your Designated Trip Gift to that student and credited to you as a donor.
