2026-2027 Commitment/Pledge Form - Investing in Hope

This is the First Universalist Church 2026-2027 Commitment/Pledge Form. Thank you for your generosity that helps us build a more just world together! If you have technical questions about your giving, reach out to Jie, our bookkeeper: jie@firstuniv.org. If you have discernment questions or would like a conversation partner, please reach out to our Stewardship Co-Chair Lynn Broaddus: LBroaddus@broadviewcollaborative.com.
First Universalist Church of Minneapolis is powered almost entirely by financial gifts from people like you. There is no denominational structure that supports this church, no large endowment that underwrites our budget. We exist because, for 165 years, people like you have supported this church financially and invested in our existence so that First Universalist could serve the needs of the present, and build bridges toward the future. Be a part of making another year happen by pledging your commitment today.
Navigating this form:

1. Your Information - provide your name and other info. 
2. Your Financial Commitment - the amount you (and your household) commit to giving to First Universalist for the 2026-2027 church year, which goes from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
3. How You'll Give - tell us how you'll fulfill your financial pledge. Most commonly, people give directly from their bank account, by credit card, or with cash or check. If you have another method you'll use, you can tell us about that.
4. Bank Account or Credit Card - if you selected one of these methods of giving and would like to set up a recurring electronic gift, please fill out the applicable section. Type your full name in the signature section as a digital signature. 
5. Expand Your Generosity - Are you able to support First U that goes beyond annual giving?
6. Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Assessment - as we move forward together into a time that issues a challenge and a call to all of us, First U invites and encourages all members and regularly attending friends to take part in the IDI Assessment. 
7. Share Your Dream - If we had an extra million dollars for First Universalist Church, share your dream of what we could do with it.

You can sign up to take this short online assessment that will help us to have a picture of our congregational culture.
