All of the services of SWUUC including this website are provided through the generosity of our congregations and their members. And freely having received, we freely give.

The UUA Annual Program Fund is the process by which all UUA congregations support the work of the association and provide substantial resources and assistance to one another. Every congregation must certify their membership by February 1 of each year. A large amount of the SWUUC budget is funded through and dependent on the full Fair Share participation of our generous congregations.

SWUUC Dues are paid each year by the congregations directly to SWUUC each year. The dues rate is determined by the delegates to the SWUUC Annual Meeting.

Friends of The District are individuals who answer a yearly call to donate funds for some special project of SWUUC. This website was funded through Friends of the District. We encourage you to join these supporters and make some extraordinary things happen.

Chalice Lighters is another program supported by individuals who are asked to make a small donation no more than three times a year. These funds go directly to help one of our SWUUC congregations make a major dream come true like a first minister, first building, new staff member, or major remodelling project. Consider not only becoming a Chalice Lighter but also organizing others in your congregation to do so as well.
