To donate, please type in your donation amount in the box below and select a payment method. If prompted, please leave in the note/memo box where you’d like your donation to be directed to. If you do not have an option for a memo, please email our Collector at collector@uumanchester.org. There are various places for your donations to be sent:

Stewardship 2026-27

Towards the end of each fiscal year, our church conducts an annual pledge drive, collecting pledges of financial support for the next year’s operating budget. Pledge payments make up approximately 2/3 of our annual income and pay for our minister and other staff, building maintenance, utilities, church programming, and much more. To donate to our pledge campaign, please contact our Collector or fill out our online pledge form. Thank you for your generosity!

All checks and cash donations can be made either during our Offertory portion of our Sunday services, or mailed to:
The Unitarian Universalist Church Of Manchester,
669 Union Street
Manchester, NH 03104

Our website takes all major credit cards via our PayPal donation link. You do not need a PayPal account to donate. If you are not provided a section to note where you want your donation to go to, please email collector@uumanchester.org for more information.





If you would like to set up recurring donation payments, you can set up Bill Pay through your bank via their app, website, or in person services.

Other Ways To Give

Donating Stocks and Bonds

Giving stocks or bonds directly to the church may allow you to avoid paying capital gains taxes on appreciated securities. The church, a non profit organization, receives the full value when it sells the gifted securities. We recommend that you work with your tax and/or investment advisor to determine a plan for your donation. For information on how to transfer securities to UU Manchester, please reach out to the Finance Committee.

Planned Giving

Planned giving includes gifts created through your will, living trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy. Most planned gifts are deferred and are typically made from assets in your estate, which come to fruition upon your passing. Often a legacy gift is the largest single gift donors will ever make and helps sustain and grow our church with a lasting impact. Thank you for considering making a planned gift! 

We encourage you to work with your attorney and/or financial advisor to select the approach that is right for you. The Unitarian Universalist Association (https://www.uua.org/giving/planned) also offers detailed legacy giving resources.
