Pledging

Annual Stewardship Pledging

The Online Stewardship Pledge Form lets us know what you PLAN to give during the year. Most people pledge during our Stewardship Annual Campaign, but you can pledge any time.

USG members and friends have a wide range of income and giving. Everyone’s participation, regardless of level, is important to the health and mission of our Beloved Community. How can you determine how much to give? We have a Fair Share Giving Guide, but in the end your judgement, your conscience, and your circumstance will determine what is best for you and best for USG.

Foundations for the Future Capital Campaign

Use the Online Capital Campaign Pledge Form to record what you PLAN to contribute to the Capital Campaign. You can pledge any time during the year. Pledges may be fulfilled over THREE years for this Campaign. The Campaign brochure details the projects and their benefits.

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.
