eGive for Congregations.
One very tangible way that UC Invest assists Congregations is through the free eGive program.
The program has been designed to provide regular and reliable income flows to your Congregation while keeping it very easy and convenient for Congregation members to use.
Statistically, Congregation members who give to their church electronically tend to give 4.5 times more per month than ad-hoc givers. This is largely because eGivers make an ‘up-front’ decision about their giving which becomes part of their personal budget rather than being left to relative chance.
Our aim is to help your Congregation maximise its resources by encouraging the use of eGive as the preferred method of giving. All without fees so 100% of funds given are contributed to your account.
You should know.
- Reports are sent to a designated eGive contact within the Congregation each month.
- Some members may choose to give anonymously. These gifts will appear as “anonymous contribution” on the report.
- No personal details of anonymous givers are disclosed to the Congregation.
- The program is designed to maximise resources by promoting eGive as the preferred method of giving.

Your eGive contribution is given straight to your Congregation where it’s used to support your church’s operations and local outreach programs.
No fees or charges are ever deducted from your gift to your Congregation.
Do I have to hold an account with UC Invest to use eGive?
What does eGive cost to use?
Nothing, not a penny. We believe your gift should reach your Congregation fee free. UC Invest will never charge you to give.
Can I elect to remain anonymous?
Yes. While we send your Congregation a monthly statement detailing all contributions received, you can elect to remain completely anonymous. If you elect to remain anonymous all of your personal details will be kept strictly confidential and never be provided to your Congregation.
