The Advance is an official program of The United Methodist Church for voluntary, designated, second-mile giving. Through The Advance, United Methodists may choose to support mission programs or mission personnel with their financial gifts. Each Advance project has been vetted and approved by Global Ministries and Advance staff. 


The Advance is an accountable, designated giving arm of The United Methodist Church that ensures 100% of each gift is used for its intended mission or ministry. The work of The Advance fulfills both physical and spiritual needs through a variety of partnerships worldwide to reach mutual goals that make a life-changing and long-lasting impact.

Since its founding in 1948, The Advance has helped channel over three million gifts totaling over one billion dollars to thousands of projects and ministries around the world. The Advance has been a lifeline for tens of thousands of mission endeavors. Learn more at:

​We need your support.

With very limited resources, UMKR has made a major impact in the United Methodist Church.


Groundbreaking divestment and boycott actions by the UMC would never have happened without UMKR's advocacy AND the extraordinary partners and allies who have worked with us and supported our efforts.


 If we are to continue advocating for Palestinian rights throughout our international denomination, we need your support.

Please give as generously as you are able, and know that gifts of every size make a difference.
