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.

Register one time for all three sessions! Congregations must register as teams, with three people per congregational team. Register your team by selecting the ‘team captain’ option in your registration. Don’t know your team members yet? Register anyway and send your team the registration form (registration link below) when you know. Tell them to select the ‘team member’ option when registering.

*Note, the team captain is responsible for congregational payment.

  • Registered congregations must have all team slots filled by Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
