Pledging

 Our annual pledge campaign has kicked off! Help us meet our goal of $400,000 from 185 households so we can grow and sustain the USG mission, staff, and community.  As of April 10, we’ve received 28 pledges out of 223 households solicited. Two-thirds of the USG budget comes from pledges, so please consider pledging now. More info can be found at the pledge table in the name tag lobby after Sunday service, or at one of the upcoming pledge talks:
      Wednesday, April 16, 12-1pm  – online Zoom meeting with Rev. Hannah & Rick Rodes
      Sunday, April 27, 12:15-1pm – in-person talk with Rev. Hannah

Pledging means making a commitment to support USG financially through the year to come. This form lets us know what you plan to give during the year, whether a one-time gift or a monthly donation. Most people pledge during our Stewardship Annual Campaign, but you can pledge any time.

To meet our fundraising goal for the 2025-2026 fundraising campaign, we need an average pledge of $2,000 per household per year. Everyone’s participation, regardless of level, is important; and every gift, large or small, helps! You may find this Fair Share Giving Guide helpful. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Text Giving

Text giving is a very convenient option for contributions and pledge payments. First time givers will be prompted to provide their payment method via a secure web page (ACH is the preferred method).

For subsequent donations, simply text the amount you’d like to give to 215-608-2660. This will credit the general fund or your pledge, if you made one.

You can also text the amount to a specific fund using a keyword. Watch for keywords in the Service to direct your donation.
