The United Thank Offering (UTO), begun in 1889, encourages an awareness of the abundance of God’s blessings through daily prayers and offerings of thanks. The offerings are then collected, primarily during parish "ingatherings" on two designated Sundays each year, one in the spring and the other in the fall. Offerings from around the nation are pooled and, after a rigorous grant review process by a national committee, distributed annually for projects benefiting dioceses throughout the Anglican Communion.
