Individual Giving

We steward God’s gifts, leveraging our resources to accomplish our collective mission in the world.

Your gift to the Annual Fund supports programs and services that impact congregations across Minnesota, trains and empower leaders, provides vital youth programs, offers relevant outdoor ministry experiences, and proclaims our vision of a more just world for all.

When you become a sustaining donor, your monthly gift provides a continuous and predictable source of support of Conference ministry. Using either a credit card or your bank checking account, Sustaining Donors find that monthly giving is easy and affordable, and continues until you ask us to stop or change the amount of your gift. Simply select “Monthly” next to “Payment/Donation Frequency.”

Ready to ensure that the Minnesota Conference’s essential work continues for years to come? Become a Leadership contributor at the $1,000/year, or $84/month level. As a Leadership Circle member, you will join others dedicated to the UCC, receive special benefits, and inspire others to give!

Planned gifts create a lasting legacy that ensures the work of the Minnesota Conference UCC will continue for years to come. A planned gift is a way to leave assets (through your will, beneficiary designation, or estate plan) to a nonprofit upon your death, or to invest your money so that you receive an income during your life and bequeath the remaining funds to a nonprofit.

To learn more about planned giving and how you can make a difference, visit the Conference’s planned giving portal, by calling us at 612-871-0359, or by emailing development@uccmn.org.

Making a gift of stock is a simple and powerful way to support the Conference’s work and offers you a number of financial benefits:

• You can easily donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
• The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
• There is no obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation.

Please call Bob Olsen in the Conference office, 612-230-3375, for information on how to transfer shares to the Conference’s Morgan Stanley account. And make sure you let us know about your gift! Stock donations aren’t always accompanied by donor information. We want to be sure we can acknowledge your gift and send you a tax receipt, so please be in touch.
