Give to Support Our Community

Whether you serve on committees, work on special projects, pull weeds, serve food, show up for yellow T-shirt alerts, participate in small group ministries, teach young people, usher, bring cookies, or simply greet each other with a smile and a friendly word, you nurture and shape our vibrant community. Thank you!

Financial contributions are also an important part of your participation in our community. Your financial gifts sustain our Minister, program, administrative staff and infrastructure (building and grounds) that provide a home in which we can shape our vision and pursue our mission.

    ​2023-2024 Pledge Materials
    Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.―Albert Camus
    Pledge to Support Our Community
    Each Unitarian Universalist community is responsible for funding its own programs and day-to-day operations. While the national Unitarian Universalist Association and regional Pacific Western Region provide essential services and information, they don't provide operating funds to us; in fact, we provide funds each year to them. So, we rely on our members and friends to fund our operating budget by pledging each year, usually in March and April.

    A pledge is your best estimate of what you will be able to contribute financially to UU Santa Fe during the coming year. Whatever the size of that pledge, you are valued here as a member of our cherished community. Give according to your blessings and circumstances.

    The 2023-2024 Pledge Campaign will officially kick off on March 12 and close on April 16. A pledge packet will be mailed to those who aren't in attendance on March 12. The 2022-2023 Pledge Campaign officially ended on April 20.

    This year's pledge goal is $325,000, an 8.3% increase over last year. The increase is intended to cover inflationary costs and support our staff.     We welcome pledges at any time during the year. If you haven't pledged before or are new to Santa Fe, please join these supporters by reviewing the pledge information at left and completing and submitting your 2023-2024 pledge form; the online pledge form at left makes it fast and easy.

  • Endow Generously

    Endow | Once in a Lifetime Planned Giving
    Since 1991, the generosity of members and friends has made possible the establishment of the UU Santa Fe Permanent Endowment Fund. This endowment provides revenue to support special needs, capital improvements, community initiatives and social outreach that are not supported by our annual operating funds. 

    UU Santa Fe retains professional fund management through the Unitarian Universalist Common Endowment Fund. The Fund is a diversified investment fund seeking current income and long-term investment returns through portfolio allocation and professional asset management consistent with socially responsible UU investing goals.

    Legacy giving activities at UU Santa Fe are coordinated by the Permanent Endowment Committee (PEC) in consultation with the Board and the Finance Committee. July 2022 PEC newsletter for more information.

    If you are considering a legacy gift to this special place and would like to talk to community leadership about your gift, please call our business office or fill out our contact form. If you have already decided to do so, it would be helpful to our Permanent Endowment Committee to know of your intentions; please complete this form.

  • ​Faithify Campaigns from the Pacific Western Region

    FAITHIFY is a crowdfunding platform for Unitarian Universalist ministry projects. This includes everything from youth work to justice, service, buildings, staff positions and emerging ministries. FAITHIFY itself is not a funder and does not distribute funds. It is simply the platform for projects to generate funders within communities. See the PWR projects that are currently open and those that have recently been funded. Give to what moves you.
