The Interdenominational Cooperation Fund is one of seven apportionments of The United Methodist Church. It is apportioned among the 63 annual conferences in the United States. As of October 31, 2008, the most recent financial data available, the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund had received $1,168,741. This represents 53.6 percent of our goal amount of $2,180,879 for 2008. In 2007, the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund received $1,889,936.  In 2006, $1,904,848 was remitted to the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund. $1,893,883 was remitted in 2005.

The United Methodist Church is grateful to those annual conferences that faithfully remit their Interdenominational Cooperation Fund apportionment at 100 percent. Placing ecumenicalism with other denomiations and faiths as a top priority, 24 annual conferences remitted at 100 percent to the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund in 2007. Those conferences are: Alaska Missionary, Baltimore-Washington, Central Pennsylvania, Central Texas, Desert Southwest, Detroit, East Ohio, Eastern Pennsylvania, Greater New Jersey, Illinois Great Rivers, Kansas West, Kentucky, Louisiana, New England, New York, North Central New York, North Carolina, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma Indian Missionary, Peninsula Delaware, Red Bird Missionary, Rio Grande, West Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Interdenominational Cooperation Fund apportionment enables The United Methodist Church to witness the Christian faith to other groups. Funding this outreach fosters a renewal of Christian unity and understaning. It takes money and recommitment to make this happen. It takes you.
