A Letter From the Pledge Drive Team
A Letter From the Pledge Drive Team
Beloved members and friends,
We invite you to come TOGETHER IN LOVE AND JUSTICE as we launch our 2025-2026 Pledge Drive.
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to sustain our church as a caring, safe place where all thrive, in the Central Valley and on our Online Campus.
Through your generous hearts, you support our mission to "love inclusively, grow spiritually, serve gratefully, and work for justice." Your pledge represents a financial commitment to continue building our loving community.
Our Annual Pledge Drive begins Sunday, February 23, 2025. Pledges are typically paid weekly, monthly, or quarterly throughout the 25/26 fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2025.
If circumstances permit, we hope you will increase your pledge by 2% to fund our expanding vision for the church.
Thank you for your continued generosity.
With gratitude,
Cheyenne Jenvey (Chair), Mona Jones-Romansic (Vice Chair), Claire te Amo, Debra Scarborough, Don Chapin, Jr., Helen Anderson, Laura Radinoff, Lynn Kimbark, Margaret Baznik-Sanders, Mike Palmer, Paula Farris and Mariah Mewborn

The Fair-Share Contribution Guide
The Fair-Share Contribution Guide
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.
