Giving to USG

Stewardship Pledging

Pledging means making a commitment to support USG financially through the year to come. The Online Stewardship Pledge Form records your plan to give during the year, whether with monthly or other frequency donations. Most people pledge during our Annual Stewardship Campaign, but you can pledge any time.

To cover our operating expense, we currently need an average pledge of about $2,000 per member per year. Everyone’s participation, regardless of level, is important. Every gift, large or small, helps! You may find this Fair Share Giving Guide helpful. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Your gifts of your time, your talent and your treasure are always welcome and gratefully received.

Click Online Payment Center to SET UP AND MAKE several kinds of payments to USG, including your Stewardship pledge payments. You select the pay period (monthly is preferred) and choose to debit your checking account (also preferred) or credit card.


USG also has a text giving option for making contributions and pledge payments via your cell phone. Text your donation to 215-608-2660.

First time givers will be prompted to provide their payment method via a secure web page. Once set up, just send a text with the amount and the keyword of the fund you wish to give to. Here are examples:

  • To make a payment toward your pledge (or general donation if you haven’t made a recorded pledge) to USG, just text any amount:     20
  • To set up a regular pledge payment (or general donation if you haven’t made a recorded pledge) to USG:      50  monthly
  • Share the Plate (split between USG and the recipient):     20   stp

Other funds are available for text giving. Watch announcements in the Sunday service or the weekly CommUUnicator for information or visit our Online Payment Center and use the dropdown menu there to select the appropriate fund.

After submitting, you’ll receive an acknowledgement by text or email.
