Charitable Giving

an opportunity to put love into action

Your donations to UUFR have a powerful impact. Like many households, our Fellowship feels the effects of economic changes on our operating budget—the funds that keep the lights on, Sunday services running, and our community thriving. This budget also supports our minister and guest speakers, maintains our building and grounds, and funds a wide variety of programs, including Religious Education, Communications, and more.

 

Ten percent (10%) of every donation goes directly to local non-profit organizations that provide essential services—helping residents with food, healthcare, shelter, and other critical needs. We also receive some income from facility rentals, offering spaces for people to work, meet, and connect.

 

From the early days of our Fellowship, our members have been committed to breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Research shows that high-quality early education for disadvantaged children is highly effective. Thanks to $450,000 in community-raised seed funding, our Kids First program has brought pre-K education for 3-year-olds to two of our four-county public school systems. Each child receives a nutritious weekly snack and a monthly book. Between 2012 and 2024, over 180 at-risk children have benefited, with school test data showing that typical academic and socialization gaps have been closed. And there are still two counties left to reach—proof that this work is both meaningful and ongoing.

 

Please consider giving generously to support UUFR and the wider community.

 

Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference.
