Second Mile Giving

Second Mile Giving

In addition to supporting conference and general church apportionments, each of us has the opportunity to make gifts to specific ministries. One-hundred percent of your gifts to these designated giving opportunities go to the selected project. No administrative costs are deducted.

This is often referred to as “second-mile giving” because, in The United Methodist Church, the “first mile” is for local churches to fulfill their World Service and other apportioned funds and conference benevolence commitments.

Opportunities for second-mile giving include:

The Advance: The Advance for Christ and His Church is an official United Methodist program for voluntary financial giving. Through the Advance, United Methodist individuals and groups support specific, approved mission programs or personnel with their financial gifts. More
