What Is the General Administration Fund?
The General Administration Fund supports the shared work that keeps The United Methodist Church organized, accountable, and connected. As one of seven apportioned funds, it invites every United Methodist church to extend that connection through shared giving that supports General Conference and other churchwide responsibilities.
