2. Choosing to financially contribute to your church is a truly personal choice. The UC Invest eGive program makes the practical side of giving easy. You choose how much and how often you wish to contribute – it’s up to you.

3. What is eGive? eGive is our electronic giving program that uses an automatic direct debit from your bank account or credit card to collect your regular church offering - replacing the need to carry cash or write a cheque. It’s quick and easy to set up and you choose how much and how often you wish to contribute – weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

4. Why use eGive? Giving electronically allows you to set your regular financial gifts upfront, rather than giving whatever happens to be in your wallet as the offering plate passes by. The eGive program allows you to treat giving with the same importance as your other financial commitments.

5. What does it cost? Nothing, nix, not a penny. We believe that your gift should reach your congregation fee free. UC Invest will never charge you a fee for giving!

6. An added bonus from UC Invest UC Invest is all about supporting congregations. From 1 May 2013 until 31 July 2013, UC Invest will give your congregation $20 for every new eGive request established. For existing eGivers we will also contribute $20 if you increase your offering by $5/month.

7. Safe, secure and simple It’s a simple, safe, secure and popular way to financially contribute to your church. Over 1,500 people in the Uniting Church community are already giving in this way.
