Your Gift$ | Giving to UU Santa Fe
|
We know each person contributes in different ways to the life of UU Santa Fe. 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 for being part of our liberal religious presence in Santa Fe.
Financial contributions are also an important part of your participation in our community. Your financial gifts sustain our Minister, program and administrative staff and the infrastructure (building and grounds) that provides a home in which we can shape our vision and pursue our mission. |

“Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.”―Albert Camus Pledge Regularly and Pledge EverGREEN Each Unitarian Universalist community is responsible for funding its own programs and day-to-day operations. While the national UUA (Unitarian Universalist Association) and regional PWR (Pacific Western Region) provide essential services and information, we do not receive our operating funds from a central organization; in fact, we provide funds each year to our district and national Unitarian Universalist organizations. So, at UU Santa Fe, we rely on our members and regularly participating friends to fund our operating budget by pledging each year. A pledge is your best estimate of what you will be able to contribute financially to UU Santa Fe during the coming year. Wherever we are going, your pledge sustains us as we walk that path together. Whatever the size of that pledge, you are valued here as a member of our cherished community. Pledges remain UU Santa Fe's major source of revenue. You may pledge annually or designate an EverGREEN pledge (an amount which stays the same year-over-year until changed by you). The EverGREEN pledge helps us plan and reduces valuable volunteer time following up, but rest assured we will still ask you to review your intentions each year. Give according to your blessings and circumstances. Q: How much? A: Give 'til you smile! The 2021-2022 Pledge Campaign is officially complete. As of May 9, we have received 166 pledges totaling $266,500, just over our $265,000 goal. Thank you, everyone! If you haven't pledged, it's not too late; Pledge Materials for the July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022 financial year are below:

Endow Generously

Endow | Once in a Lifetime Planned Giving
Since 1991, the generosity of members and friends have made possible the establishment of the UU Santa Fe Permanent Endowment Fund that generates additional revenue to support our special needs, capital improvements, community initiatives and social outreach not otherwise supported by our annual operating funds. UU Santa Fe retains professional fund management through the UUA Common Endowment Fund. The Unitarian Universalist Common Endowment Fund is a diversified investment fund seeking current income and long-term investment returns through portfolio allocation and professional asset management with UU socially responsible investing goals. 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. Tell Rev. Gail how much you appreciate her service and leadership to UU Santa Fe for the last 10 years. Make a tribute donation to the Permanent Endowment Fund in her honor. Click on the DONATE above to make your donation by credit card (select PEF Fund in the drop down). We will be announcing the total amount of the fund drive at our church wide party on September 12 to honor her 10 years at UU Santa Fe and her 26 years in the ministry, so please donate now. If you would like to donate by check or cash please give your tribute to Aaron in the office or send a check in by mail. If you would like to make a Legacy pledge, or to increase your current Legacy pledge in Rev. Gail’s honor, please contact Holly Kinley at 505- 577-1090 for more information. |

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.

WE GIVE
By Kristin Collins
We give to remind ourselves how many gifts we have to offer.
We give to remember that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
We give because we believe in music and sacred space.
We give with the faith that, together, we have enough.
