The mission of the United Thank Offering (UTO) is to invite people to offer daily prayers of thanksgiving to God and also outward and visible signs of those prayers which will benefit others. The UTO Committee strives to raise the consciousness of the whole Church to the UTO mission. The Committee grants money offerings -- the outward and visible signs -- to strengthen mission and ministry throughout the Anglican Communion. A major volunteer arm of the Episcopal Church USA, the UTO has been dedicated to missionaries and mission outreach since 1889.
