Giving At UUCA
It’s March 1st, the launch of our Annual Giving Campaign at UUCA!
This year, we’re celebrating all of your WHYS — why you come to UUCA, why you love the UUCA community, and why you choose to give to UUCA. During this Giving Campaign season, we’ll be sharing videos from members and friends who are sharing THEIR whys — find them below!
And we’re really trying to make the How of giving as easy as it can be, so that there are no barriers to you showing your care for UUCA and your hope for our work in the world. There are two options for making your pledge — Rev. Amanda has even made a video explaining the differences between yearly pledging and monthly giving, and decide which way might be right for you.
We will be celebrating the Why of giving all month long. The Why of choosing UUCA as your faith community. The Why of UUCA’s role in your family’s life. The Why of making UUCA part of your life for 40 years or 4 months…and the different gifts that come with every phase of your journey with this congregation.

Step 2: Take Action & Make Your Pledge!
You can pick between two options to pledge — you don’t need to do both!
To learn more about the options, watch this video from Rev. Amanda.
Option 1
Set up a monthly recurring donation, click the button below. If you already have set up a recurring donation, would you consider increasing your pledge?
Once you set up a monthly recurring donation, you do not need to complete an online pledge form (Option 2).
Option 2
Submit an online pledge statement, then donate over time, on your schedule. To make a pledge online, click the button below.
Once you complete the pledge form, you will have the option to donate using the online system.
Regardless of HOW you choose to pledge, the entire community of UUCA is appreciative and grateful for your support. If you have thoughts you’d like to share, we welcome them. Please complete the feedback form below.
