The Apportioned Funds

When you give to your local United Methodist church, part of your offering goes beyond your congregation to support important ministries and mission work across the country and around the world. This shared giving, called "apportioned giving," allows United Methodists everywhere to work together to care for others and spread hope where it's needed most.

Generosity unites us in impact and is how we live out our faith to make a real difference. United in impact, we do more together than we ever could alone.
