Annual Pledge Campaign
Contact: Sheila Barnhart (she/her), Board VP of Finance
The Annual Pledge Campaign, conducted the first quarter of every year, raises the money we need to operate from July 1 to June 30. Think staff salaries and benefits as well as other professional services; program and mission group support; Unitarian Universalist Association contribution; utility costs; office supplies; computer and A/V systems; care for the grounds; routine maintenance (e.g., HVAC); emergency repairs.
Each year we ask that members make an annual pledge to begin July 1 that meets or exceeds their previous year’s pledge (remember: when your cost of daily living goes up, so does UUCR’s). The money raised each spring determines the operating budget for the coming fiscal year – what can be continued or added, or what may need to be curtailed.
UUCR has committed to following the Fair Share Contribution Guide released by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We ask members to “strive for 3-5%” of their household income in making their yearly pledge. Thank you!
