With our pledges this year, we ensure UUC is a refuge of hope, comfort, and connection. In these unprecedented times, we faithfully show up for one another and the wider community. Encouraged by this spirit of possibility, we are ready to welcome a new minister.
Dear Friend of UUC,
As we kick off the Annual Pledge Drive, take a moment to reflect on what UUC means to you.
We receive so much from UUC. It may be your refuge of compassion and support. Maybe you’ve found a sense of belonging here—a place where you are seen and known. Perhaps you are working with courage and in community toward change.
In return, we give back to this community in the spirit of generosity with our creativity, energy, leadership, time, allyship, skills, caring, financial support, and more.
March Is Pledge Month!
Each spring, we have a shared task as caring and responsible UUC members & friends: ensuring a strong financial base for the next fiscal year. Pledging in March is critical to solid budget planning this spring.
Goals for this year’s Pledge Drive
- To increase participation of UUC members and friends
- We want everyone to feel empowered to support this community. Every gift is cherished, no matter the amount.
- To raise $1.3 million in pledges for the FY27 budget (July 1–June 30)
- Over 70 percent of the budget comes from pledged gifts. Your intended gift supports everything that keeps the UUC mothership on course: staff, ministers, insurance, family ministry, technology, music, small groups, social justice programs, and on and on.
The future of UUC as an ongoing source of comfort, inspiration, and impact is in our hands.
