Pledges for this year’s Annual Giving Campaign are slowly coming in. We appreciate everyone who has already submitted their pledge. We encourage everyone to participate no later than Sunday, April 14. For more information and a link to the pledge form, please visit Annual Giving Campaign Information and Pledge Form.

What is a pledge? A pledge is your stated financial commitment to support UUC’s operating budget for July 1, 2024- June 30, 2025. The ministries and programming of UUC are funded almost entirely by the donations of its supporters (roughly 75%). We make our pledges in the early spring to give our Board of Trustees enough time to determine a realistic budget that aligns with our mission to Awaken Spirit, Nurture Hope and Inspire Action.

How much should I pledge? There is no minimum amount to participate, and all gifts are important and cherished. We invite you to review the Aspirational Giving Guide as you consider your pledge. It is also important to note that our budget for all operating revenue and support is expected to increase by 15% to cover increases to operating expenses and the addition of new ones, as well as the removal of CARES Act support that we've relied on in previous years. Please read A Bridge to the Future: Pledges for Next Year’s Operating Budget from Byron Krystad, Director of Operations, in which he shares more details.

How do I make a pledge? Please watch this video, How to Make a Pledge to UUC, and review Ways to Give on UUC’s website.
