THE FAIR-SHARE CONTRIBUTION GUIDE
Using the Guide is a simple process; giving is a function of commitment and resources.
Each of us will have our own unique circumstances to consider. We are individually and collectively responsible for the resources to meet our congregational needs. Above is a Guide that allows you to calculate in a time frame that works for you.
INCOME: Most of us budget our financial commitments on a monthly basis. You may also use an annual calculation if that works best for you. The guide shows monthly and corresponding annual income levels.
ADD: Unusual or periodic income (inheritances, business income, investment income, etc.)
SUBTRACT: Any unusual expenses (large medical expenses, care of a parent, or a large financial expense, etc.)
ADJUSTED INCOME: From the table above find the closest to this level. Find the giving level that you are ready to support.
In making your decision, consider the four commitment levels shown and how they relate to your membership. Consider your UU values in thinking about your income and your financial commitment to the congregation. Note that within each commitment level the guide is progressive with giving levels rising with capacity.
