UMC #Giving Tuesday December 3, 2013
On December 3, the UMC General Board of Global Ministries will match gifts made online by credit card to any project through The Advance.
The Advance is our church’s giving channel that ensures that 100% of each gift supports the project designated by the donor. More than 850 Methodist-related projects and more than 300 missionaries are supported by The Advance; all of them have gone through a rigorous review process and are account-able for how funds are used.
GBGM will match dollar-for-dollar the first $500,000 in gifts to Advance projects given online on the 3rd between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. EST, using a credit card. Some of the Advance projects are:
UMCOR’s Phillipine outreach: #982450 Stop Hunger Now: #982795 Maua Hospital the critically ill: #09613A AIDS Orphans Project, Maua Hospital: #140161
A complete list is available online.
Process for making a contribution
2. Enter the Advance number into the search box—or search using a key word like “Maua,” for example.
3. Click on the name of the Advance project (usually in a blue font). Once you hit enter, you will be taken to a page that will provide information for that specific ministry or “Advance.”
4. On the right hand side of the page, you will see a red button with white letters “GIVE NOW.”
5. Click on the red box and you will be taken to the donation page where the name of the Advance has already been filled in. Here you will enter your credit card information, your name, address and other information.
6. Be sure to hit the “SUBMIT” button at the bottom of the screen. Once you do this, wait for about a minute while the donation is being processed. You will get an acceptance message when the transaction is completed.
Note: The credit card fee will be paid by the UMC.
ONLY GIFTS MADE ONLINE, BY CREDIT CARD, BETWEEN 12:01 A.M. AND 11:59 P.M. WILL BE MATCHED!
