Mission and Service Fund (M&S)

The unified Mission and Service Fund finances the ministry and mission of the United Church. It supports our worship life, and funds efforts promoting justice and peace, and advocating for environmental reforms. The M&S Fund enables the church to respond to human needs both in Canada and around the world with development work, medical aid, emergency relief, and many different kinds of community outreach and social programs. The Mission and Service Fund is the largest contributor to the annual budget of The United Church of Canada, totalling more than $30 million each year.

M&S World Development and Relief

Gifts to World Development and Relief (WDR) are the only designation within the Mission and Service Fund. Gifts to WDR support our global work in development and relief.

The Healing Fund

The Healing Fund was originally established by General Council in 1994 as a five-year fundraising and educational campaign (1995-1999) to address the impacts of residential schools on Aboriginal people. It now continues as one facet of the United Church's ongoing reconciliation work with Aboriginal people.

Emergency Response

In the event of a major disaster, the church can issue an Emergency Response appeal for donations over and above the Mission and Service Fund. This decision is facilitated by an inter-unit committee according to a specific protocol.
