As a religious organization, NAUA has always operated as a tax exempt non-profit. To provide added assurance to our donors, we recently applied for a 501(c)3 determination letter from the IRS.
We are pleased to announce that we are now officially identified as a tax-exempt organization and will be added to the IRS’ searchable database as such. As stated in the determination letter: “We’re pleased to tell you we determined you’re exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Donors can deduct contributions they make to you under IRC Section 170. You’re also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 2522.”
More information on how you can maximize your contributions to NAUA by donating directly from your IRA’s Required Minimum Distribution or your estate will be shared over the coming months. We are always grateful for any and all contributions that allow us to continue to provide monthly worship services, workshops, CIRCLES and other services to members.

To model respectful communication and avoid future misunderstandings, NAUA Board Trustees felt it was important to create, adopt and affirm a code of conduct moving forward. Thank you to trustee Jan Anderson for creating the initial draft, which was slightly modified and adopted by the full board.
Trustees present at the closed December 17th board meeting affirmed adherence to these ideals and pledged to hold themselves and each other accountable. Members are encouraged to read these guidelines and adopt them in their own internal communications, in order to model our respect for the inherent dignity of all individuals and all peoples. These guidelines also reflect the importance we place on our values of freedom, reason and tolerance.
The board pledges to review the Code of Conduct annually and update as necessary. Future trustees will be asked to affirm the code upon joining the board.
