United Methodist Women is trusted with pledges and donations from individual members and local member organizations, as well as mission partners and anonymous donors who have a heart for mission. We support programs in the United States and around the world that benefit women, children and youth - thereby impacting entire communities. As an agency of The United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women abides by the Social Principles and Discipline as determined by General Conference, giving only to projects in accordance with those guidelines.
Through their generosity, United Methodist Women members transform the lives of women, youth, and children in the United States and around the world.
United Methodist Women’s Mission Giving – which is unrestricted funds – supports the total program of the organization. There are five avenues for Mission Giving: Pledge to Mission, Special Mission Recognition, Gift to Mission, Gift in Memory, and World Thank Offering.
Pledge to Mission
An individual member’s Pledge to Mission is the amount she pledges to contribute via her local unit. After the pledge she makes to her local church, her Pledge to Mission is usually the largest amount she gives every year for mission.

Special Mission Recognition pins offer a meaningful way to honor members and non-members who have dedicated time and effort to service. Gift amounts are $40, $60, 100, $200, $500, $1000, and $2000. The honoree receives a certificate and a small gold oval lapel pin. Pins are ordered through a unit, district, or conference treasurer.
Gift to Mission
Make a gift for a minimum of $5 in honor of someone and send a card to the honoree. Ecards are available for: Friendship, Mother’s Day, Peace, and Thoughts and Prayers. On your donation form, check “Yes, I would like to send a gift notification” under “Send an Ecard." Cards may also be available through your district or conference treasurer.
Gift in Memory
Give a gift for a minimum of $5 in memory of a member, friend or anyone else. Gift in Memory cards, available free from the district treasurer, may be sent to the family of the deceased. You can also send an Ecard with your gift when you donate using our donation form. Or ask your district or conference treasurer if they have cards available.
World Thank Offering
Spontaneous additional gifts can be given out of gratitude for God’s abundance and in celebration of the joys of life. Gifts are collected throughout the year in a World Thank Offering box or jar or other container. World Thank Offerings are usually received in the fall during a special service of thanksgiving in the local unit.
