Do you have questions about what makes a pledge drive effective today? Join us for a three session webinar designed for stewardship teams engaged in a spring pledge drive. We will explore current congregational giving trends, pledge drive practices that are working, and examples of real UU congregations who have experienced pledge drive successes.

Registering
Register one time for all three sessions! Congregations must register as teams, with 3 to 4 people per congregational team. On the registration form you will have the option to register as a team captain or a team member. Please select the team captain option if you are registering a team and paying for your congregational team to attend this event. Don’t know your team members yet, but you want to snag a seat for your congregational team later? Register anyway! You don’t need to fill in your teammates info when you register. Once you know who the rest of your teammates will be, send them the registration form, and have them select team member to be added to your teams roster.
If you don’t know whether your congregation has already registered or if you should register as team captain or have any other questions about registering in general — reach out to Chanel Gomez at cleventteam@uua.org for more info.
Registration form coming soon! Tip, the registration link will first appear in your August regional newsletter, so stay tuned. *Note, registered congregations must have all team slots filled by Wednesday, October 15, 2026.
