150th Anniversary of United Methodist Women is coming


On March 23, 1869, eight women gathered at Tremont Methodist Episcopal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, and organized the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, what would become United Methodist Women. The women raised money to send a doctor, Clara Swain, and a teacher, Isabella Thoburn, to India as missionaries to serve the women of that nation.

Celebrate the dedication and foresight of our foremothers in mission as we lead up to our 150th anniversary in 2019 with a special Day of Giving, March 23, 2015.

Gifts to the legacy fund can be made in several ways:
  • Online at unitedmethodistwomen.org/legacyfund
  • By telephone at 212-870-3743. 
  • Mobile giving and Text to Give (soon)
  • By check mailed to:
    United Methodist Women: Treasurer’s Office
    475 Riverside Drive
    New York, NY 10115.
