Some of you will remember how we kicked off the campaign with a joyful Halloween block party in late October 2022. We celebrated together outside on Astor Street with a live jazz band, food truck, bouncy house, and of course cake. The costume contest was a riot of fun.
Our goal was to secure $3 million in pledges and we’ve been incredibly successful. As of today, the Forge Our Future Endowment has $2.8 million total funds pledged.
We are so grateful as we close the three-year campaign at the end of 2025, that you have contributed $2,505,500 so far! Your generosity is amazing.
Remember, the endowment fund is principal-protected. It is invested in the UUA’s Common Endowment Fund. This fiscal year, some of the interest from the fund is fulfilling its purpose of closing our annual income gap and supporting the church’s mission and goals.
If you are able, please consider fulfilling your Forge Our Future pledge by the end of December. Contact Office Manager Shari Wright or me if you need more time to complete your pledge or you need to adjust your pledge. As always, we are so grateful for all contributions.
