Extend the spirit of giving thanks into the Advent season by participating in UMC #GivingTuesday on Dec. 2. Every gift made online through The Advance at www.umcmission.org/give on Dec. 2 will be matched up to $1 million. The General Board of Global Ministries will allocate the matching funds dollar for dollar up to the first $1 million in gifts to Advance projects received online on Dec. 2 between 12 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. EST. A maximum of $2,500 per individual gift to a project will be dispersed as matching funds. A project may receive a maximum of $25,000 in matching funds.
Last year on UMC #GivingTuesday, United Methodists collectively raised a record $6.5 million online through The Advance. UMC #GivingTuesday is part of an international movement which offers an opportunity to start off the holiday season by giving instead of receiving, by supporting organizations that are transforming the world.
