Support First Parish through the Annual Fund
You can support First Parish by making a continuing financial commitment to our annual budget. While our budget year runs from July 1 to June 30, you may begin contributing at any time.
We invite you to make a commitment that reflects both your values and your connection to our community—one that is as generous as your circumstances allow, without creating financial hardship. Gifts in any amount are welcomed and appreciated.
Just as important as your financial contributions are the gifts of your time, energy, and talents, which enrich the life of our community. Since everyone’s situation is different, we encourage members and friends to make an annual financial commitment that feels generous to you.
Below is a Suggested Giving Guide published by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). This guide is aspirational and meant to help you reflect on what level of support may feel right for you:
