Miracle Sunday Gift Programs
Your contribution will fund theological education in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines in perpetuity.
No gift is too large or too small! There is a place for you. We do not ask for equal gifts but invite equal sacrifice.
We have many ways to give. Credit card, bank transfer, Venmo, send a check, transfer stock, or make a grant through your donor advised fund.
While it is important to give through your congregation’s Miracle Sunday Offering, we know that may not always be possible.
You are invited to make your gift or commitment here.
Ignite a legacy of faith: Invest in the visionary leaders who will shape the future of our Church.
Individuals and Families may also name and designate gifts.
A gift of $50,000 or more allows an individual to name a fund in their honor or in memory of a loved one.
A gift of $100,000 or more grants the donor the ability to name a fund and designate the country or episcopal area it will support.

Congregations are invited to join this campaign with gifts that can carry a lasting impact:
$150,000 or more: your congregation may establish a named fund.
$250,000 or more: your congregation may both name a fund and designate the country or episcopal area it will support.
Circle Recognition: your congregation can also be recognized as a Faith, Grace, Peace, Joy, Hope, or Love Circle when the average gift per worshiper meets or exceeds the amount for one of these Circles.
Example: If your congregation gives a total of $8,250 and 29 members participate, the average gift is $284 per giver. This places your church in the Hope Circle, since the average is greater than $250.
Congregations: cultivate a culture of giving across our worldwide Church.
Conferences and Episcopal Areas: Fuel the mission by mobilizing resources to transform our future leaders.
Conferences and Episcopal Areas may also name and designate gifts.
With a $500,000 gift, an Episcopal Area or Conference may partner with another Episcopal Area or Conference, one from the United States and one from outside the United States, to establish a fund named in their honor. The Endowment will assist in pairing Episcopal Areas and Conferences.
Smaller Episcopal Areas or Conferences may opt to add a third partner to their collaboration.
Your generosity establishes a lasting legacy, empowering theological leaders worldwide. To explore partnership opportunities or for assistance in connecting with another annual conference or episcopal area, send an email to MiracleSunday@umcendowment.org. and indicate you would like assistance to partner with another conference or episcopal area.
