Giving Campaign Begins

It’s that time of year where we, once again, commit to the life and work of UUC by submitting an annual pledge. A pledge is your stated financial commitment to support UUC’s operating budget for our next church year which runs July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026.


Our draft budget for the 2025-2026 church year is $1.7 million. To support this, our giving campaign this year needs to
raise $1.4 million in pledges from UUC members and friends. The ministries and programming of UUC are funded almost entirely by the donations of its supporters. Our endowment, program fees, and other donations will provide additional revenue to support this budget. 


Some key aspects to know:

  • The proposed budget is an increase over last year’s—primarily for staffing-related and minister search expenses. The budget includes two full-time ministers and full staffing for our Family Ministry program. If you are able, please increase your annual operating pledge to UUC.
  • This year, we plan to have only one giving campaign, so your pledge in March will be critical to the budgeting and planning process.
  • The Executive Leadership Team, Board of Trustees and Finance Teams will review our fundraising and make adjustments to the budget until early May when a budget will be finalized to be approved by the congregation at the June Annual Meeting. 

 

NOW is the time to pledge! 

March is pledge month. Submit your pledge now for the 2025-2026 church year!
