Introducing ACS: Pledging & Setting Up Electronic Giving Online
By Brad Schmidt,
Assistant Finance Administrator
This is part three of a three-part series exploring our new online ACS membership database. Part one was “Setting Up Your Profile”, part two was “Accessing the Online Calendar”, and part 3 is “Pledging & Setting Up Electronic Giving Online.”
On February 22nd we kick off our annual pledge drive. New this year we are offering the option of making your pledge online. In addition, our new database system, ACS, allows members and friends of First Universalist to process online pledge payments.
There are two steps to the pledging process: making your pledge, and setting up your method of giving. Listed below are the steps to do both online, but please note that you can also set up your pledge and giving method by filling out a Pledge Card or by calling the church office at 612-825-1701 and making arrangements (ask to speak to Brad!)To pledge online and set up an online gift, please follow these steps:
1) Click on the “My First U” tab from the First Universalist Church homepage. Select the option “to pledge online or make an electronic payment”
2) You are now on the electronic giving hub. Under the “For Members and Friends Looking to Pledge” title, follow the prompts to pledge online (you will automatically be directed to the online payment page after submitting your online pledge form)
It’s as easy as that! If you have any questions about making your pledge or payment online, you can contact me at brad@firstuniv.orgor call the church office at 612-825-1701.
