Details on Ways to Give
Cash or Check
You can give cash or check in several ways:
- During Sunday services, you may put your gift in the offering plate.
- You may hand your gift to a staff member in the UUC office.
- You may mail a check—do NOT mail cash. Make checks payable to “UUC”.
If your gift is a pledge payment, be sure to include a note with this designation. This way, your gift will be correctly assigned to your account at UUC. You can note this on the check memo line or include a note with your gift in an envelope. During Sunday services, you can ask an usher for an envelope to use with the offering plate. On Second Sundays, when the offering plate is often donated to a local organization, it is doubly important to call out if your gift is a pledge payment.
Online Giving (Credit Card or Debit Card)
You can make one-time or recurring donations online using a credit card or debit card. Click the Give Now button found at the top of most UUC web pages. Or log in to UUC Connect and go to the Giving section there.
The first time you use Give Now, you will need to provide an email address and set up a payment method.
To cover credit-card processing fees, please consider adding 3–4% to your gift. This way UUC receives the full amount of your intended gift.
Bank Payments
Bank payments (direct withdrawals) have the benefit of no credit card fees. As described in the section above, you may set up this type of gift using either the Give Now button or by logging in to UUC Connect. You will need to provide your account number and your bank’s routing number.
The first time you use Give Now, you will need to provide an email address and set up a payment method.
Text to Give
The Text to Give option that UUC offers during Sunday services is available at any time. Simply text UUCHURCH and your donation amount (e.g., “UUCHURCH $20”) to 73256. You’ll receive a return text with a link to click to complete your gift.
