| What
is it?
UST is an Unemployment Tax Savings Program specifically
for non-profits. UST is owned by its over 2,100 participating organizations and controls assets of over $89 million. Elected
Trustees,
who are CEOs or CFOs of member organizations,
govern the trust. |

What does it do?
The sole purpose of UST is to provide nonprofits
with a safe, cost-effective alternative to paying
state unemployment taxes. Organizations opt out
of the state unemployment system, and make quarterly
contributions directly to the Trust. The Trust
handles claims payments directly on their behalf. |

The ideal organization has 10 or more employees.
