Thank you for considering donating to the little church at the Heart of Foster City. You have two options available below:
Zeffy
Zeffy makes sure 100% of your donation goes to us and asks that you help them cover administrative fees with an optional upcharge. When the screen appears, you can choose one of the amounts we’ve suggested or a custom amount.
General Gifts
Choose this if you want to donate to our church more generally. You’ll have the option to split your donation between the following three funds:
The General Operating Fund goes toward ongoing expenses such as salaries for our pastor, music director, and communications team, building maintenance, utilities, church programs, outreach, and basic UCC denominational support.
The Mission Fund helps us to support local, national, and international charities that the congregation chooses each year. Last year we supported Mission Hospice, Puente Mission, San Mateo County Pride, CORA, LifeMoves, and more.
The Capital/Building Fund covers extraordinary building expenses, such as resealing the parking lot and fixing the dry rot of our beloved building.
Heifer International
Celebrate life’s milestones with a gift to Heifer International. Heifer International works with partners to support farmers in sustainably addressing hunger and poverty in their communities while caring for the Earth, with a focus on transforming food systems.
Their programs follow a sustainable locally-led development approach that responds directly to needs and priorities identified by the farming communities they serve.
Christmas Fund Special Offering: Throughout Advent 2025
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees.
Neighbors in Need Special Offering: October 26, 2025
Neighbors in Need (NIN) is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for American Indian Ministry (CAIM). Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) to support a variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects through grants. Neighbors in Need grants are awarded to UCC churches and organizations doing justice work in their communities. These grants fund projects whose work ranges from direct service to community organizing and advocacy to address systemic injustice. This year, special consideration will be given to projects focusing on serving our immigrant neighbors and communities.
