The Apportioned Funds
When you give to your local United Methodist church, part of your offering reaches far beyond your congregation. Through apportioned giving, every United Methodist church shares in the work of the wider church. Your gifts support seven funds that prepare clergy, strengthen education, sustain church leadership, and carry out ministries in communities around the world.
When we give together, we put our faith into action and reach further than any one congregation could on its own. That is the heart of United in Impact, the initiative that brings all United Methodist connectional giving under one shared vision. Together, we are united in purpose and greater in impact.
