Annual Program Fund-Celebrating the Commitment of Congregations!
At the close of the Unitarian Universalist Association’s fiscal year 2009, contributions to the Annual Program Fund made by your congregation, alongside those of more than one thousand others, totaled $6,863,537 in essential operating income. A portion of these funds are used to directly benefit your District through grants that are based on congregational giving within each District. Your congregation’s impressive level of generosity ensures that core programming and services offered by the UUA continue to be available, expanded, and refined so each of us may grow in the depth and breadth of our liberal religious faith movement.
Despite the economic uncertainty that many of our 1047 member congregations faced over the past year, 696 came through as Honor (Fair Share) Congregations and 121 are recognized as Merit Congregations, having increased their giving by 20% or more since fiscal year 2008. For affirming your congregation’s connection to its larger Unitarian Universalist faith, for recognizing your common bond with congregations throughout the country and around the world, and for the financial support of the Association’s work, we sincerely offer our profound appreciation.
