The transformative power of generosity is evident everywhere at United.
The voices of our students are transformative, in churches, faith communities, and in the social landscape. Your generosity supports:
- Their transformation through scholarships and financial gifts to the United Fund (formerly known as the Annual Fund), our unrestricted annual fund.
- The voices of our gifted faculty.
- The spaces in which transformation takes place–both in St. Paul on campus and through distance learning.
There are many ways to give—online or by other means, one time or as a sustaining donor, and immediately or in the future. Choose United for monthly or annual charitable giving, establish a Legacy Gift, or do both. Learn more below.
United owes much to the continued generosity of alums, congregations, and friends both near and far. We are honored by the trust our generous donors place in us every day. Because of YOU, we live out our mission.
For detailed information, please contact Rev. Dr. Cindi Beth Johnson, Vice President for Advancement, via email or at 651-255-6137. Online gifts can be made at any time. Give online and complete the form. Thank you for your continued interest and generous gifts to United.
United is where I found both my community and my vocation. I was stunned to fall in love with the academic study of theology, but I am so grateful to have been rigorously prepared as an academic to teach future faith leaders how to examine their praxis and go into the world prepared to lead and think with the courage, humor, creativity, wisdom, and love we all aspire to.
