How to fill out the annual pledge form
To make your annual pledge commitment, please go to the Pledge Campaign page, read the information, complete the pledge form, and return it in one of the ways suggested. Thank you for your generosity and support of UUSD during these challenging times.
How to make pledge and other payments to UUSD
To make an actual payment, UUSD has implemented three different online donation methods through Vanco Payment Solutions.
The types of payments available to you are as follows:
- Pledge Payment (a onetime or recurring donation toward your pledge)
- Share the Plate (a donation that will be shared equally between UUSD and a local charity named by UUSD for a particular month).
- In Honor/Memory of (a donation to honor someone’s birthday, anniversary, death, or special occasion)
- Other (for any other donation).
Donate through Your Personal Bank Account or Credit/Debit Card
One-time or recurring donations may be made for your pledge, the annual operating fund or capital fund, and in honor or memory of a loved one. UUSD members and friends, visitors, guests, and actually anyone, will be able to make debit/credit donations or direct ACH donations from personal bank accounts or credit/debit cards.

Give+ Text
It’s simple to donate by a text message from your cell phone. Simply send a text to 844-901-2824 (the 10-digit Give+ Text number) in your text messages app, and you can donate to UUSD. This number is exclusively reserved for donations to just UUSD. The first time you enter a donation amount ($ optional) you will need to perform a one-time registration and provide your credit card information. After that you can complete a donation within seconds by just typing the amount towards our general/pledge fund. Type “STP” after the amount (e.g., 20 STP) for a donation to Share the Plate. You can type “assist” for help or “edit” to change your credit card information.
You will receive a confirmation response. Unless you want to make it a recurring donation, you are finished. For additional information visit: Vanco GivePlus Text How It Works — https://www.vancopayments.com/hubfs/Launch_eGiving_Faith/Vanco_GivePlus_Text_How_It_Works.pdf.
