- Manningham Uniting Church financially supports the Lenten Appeal through contributions made during and at the conclusion of worship services in Lent.

- Through Uniting (https://www.vt.uniting.org), the fundraising arm of the Uniting Church in Australia, various Share appeals are available to support – Winter appeal, Emergency Relief, Homelessness, Meal support.
- Manningham Uniting Church financially supports the Share Appeal through contributions made during and at the conclusion of worship services in Advent and Christmas.
Christmas Bowl
- The Christmas Bowl appeal is the longest-running ecumenical appeal in Australia. Started in 1949 by Rev Frank Byatt to help refugees from World War II, it is our way of forging a loving connection between Christian communities here in Australia and people around the world who are experiencing dreadful hardship and suffering.
