Your gifts help UUC be a welcoming place for people near and far. UUC receives no outside financial support and relies solely on the generosity of congregants. Your gifts help provide:

• a caring congregation that is a welcoming place for all
• weekly worship gatherings that inspire, connect, and transform
• religious education and meaningful faith development for all ages
• support and care for each of us as we encounter joys and sorrows in life
• opportunities to serve the greater good, take care of others and the environment, and advocate for social change

We welcome gifts of all sizes. You give generously, let us make it easy. Your donations and pledge-fulfillments can be made in a variety of ways:

• Your Banking Institutions. Make a one-time or recurring payment to UUC directly from your checking or savings account through your bank’s online bill pay. Most banks offer this service for free. If this is gift is to fulfill your pledge, please include that in the memo line, including the fiscal year.
• Personal Check.  Place a check in the offering basket at service; drop it in the secure box in the administrator’s office door; or mail it to UUC, PO Box 10116, Blacksburg, VA 24062. If this gift is to fulfill your pledge, please include that in the memo line, including the fiscal year.
• Online. Pay through our secure online giving portal  This is a safe and secure way to give. Please note that this method incurs fees paid by UUC. You also have the option to donate a small amount to offset these fees. To avoid fees, consider setting up auto-pay through your bank.
• Text. Text “Fund” to 844-909-2617 and follow the prompts.
• From Your Retirement. If you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA, you can choose to donate it to the UUC. This is called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Contact your financial advisor for more details. Important: be sure to give us a heads up to expect the gift and also ask your financial institution to include your name when they make this payment so we can record it on your contribution record.
• Download the Vanco App. In addition to using our online giving portal, you can also download the Vanco Mobile App (Vanco Mobile Faith Engagement in Google Play Store and Apple Store). Simply download the free app, select UUCNRV as the recipient, and create an account.

Submitting a Pledge

We welcome your donations at anytime. A pledge drive is also conducted each spring where all are asked to make a commitment to offer financial support to UUC for the upcoming fiscal year. A pledge is your best estimate of the financial support you’ll be able to provide UUC in the coming fiscal year. Visit our Stewardship and Pledging page for more.

Fulfilling Your Pledge

Once you have submitted a pledge card, you can fulfill your pledge using any of the methods listed above. Please make sure to mark your gift, “Pledge 25-26” so that we can accurately record your contribution. Thank you for your generosity!
