As of today, 17 people have set up new or increased recurring gifts. This means, thanks to generous alum Rev. Julie Mall (’85), we’ve raised $8,500 in matching gifts and reached 43% of our goal!

As you’ve read in the last few weeks, faithful supporters empower United’s mission to educate new generations of truth-tellers and justice-seekers.

Our common good—from our local faith communities to our society at large—is bettered by the progressive theological education United offers.

This means we need just 23 more new or increased recurring givers to close the gap in the next 13 days, on or before June 30. Your support, whether with a one-time or recurring gift, makes a better world possible.

Every gift makes a difference. Visit https://buff.ly/ivGsUR9 to make your gift today.
