Estimates of Giving

Each year, we ask those committed to our shared life at Highland to estimate their giving for the coming year. We use this information to responsibly budget for the coming year. If you have not yet completed an estimate of giving for 2024, please consider doing so today.

To give via text, send HUMCR $50 (or any amount) to the phone number 73256. You’ll receive a text message in response with your next steps. After you give one time, your payment method is saved, so you can quickly give again from your phone.

You can also text to give to special funds and missions efforts at Highland. To give to a particular fund, include the name of the fund in your text, separated by a space (e.g. HUMCR Habitat $50). If you don't specify a particular fund, your contribution goes to our General Fund. Here is a list of funds currently enabled for text giving:
