MAKING A PLEDGE
Step 1
When you make your INITIAL pledge through the OUUC website, you click on the Give Tab and then select the ‘Stewardship Drive’ tab. If you wanted to make pledges to OTHER campaigns (capital campaigns, etc.), you can click on those instead.
Step 2
From there you are prompted to pledge through the ‘Pledge Here’ button.
Step 3
You can set the pledge to be a one-time payment with the ‘As Can’ button or a recurring payment (multiple times) with the ‘Set a Schedule’ button.
With that, you have successfully made a pledge. Thank you for pledging to support our community! Now the following section will describe how you can fulfill (pay) the pledge.
FULFILLING (PAYING) A PLEDGE
To FULFILL the pledge, you can a) pay in pay in person with cash or check; b) pay by phone by calling the Office Manager; or c) set up a credit card or EFT payment (bank withdrawal) through OUUC’s Realm digital platform. You can get to Realm’s giving options (both making pledges and setting up payments for them) in one of two ways:
Option A: Go to the OUUC website, hover over the ‘Give’ tab, and click on ‘Ways to Give’. Clicking on option 1 will send you directly to Realm on your computer. If you’d like to use your phone instead, you can follow the directions to numbers 3 or 4.
Option B: Go to the bottom right of the OUUC website main page and select the ‘OUUC Connect/Realm Login’ option.
Once in Realm, click on the ‘Giving’ tab in the sidebar. From there you can select the ‘+Give’ button. When the pop-up window opens, click on the ‘Fund’ drop-down menu and select the ‘General Fund Pledge July 2025 – June 2026’ (or whatever fund you’d like to support in addition to your annual pledge), input the amount and frequency you’d like to pay, and then select the ‘Continue’ button on the bottom.
You will then be given the option to select the method of payment and will click on the ‘Give $____’ when finished, and you’re done!
Going forward, you’ll be able to use the ‘Giving Information’ sidebar on the right to toggle between previous, current, and future pledges, as well as change or update payment methods.
Thank you for supporting the OUUC’s community and its community partners. Your participation—both physical and financial—is greatly appreciated and enormously impactful. Working together, we increase the fullness and richness of our own lives and those of our neighbors and broader community.
