In order to act in all the ways that support our values, we need to support ourselves, including our staff, to be able to make our programming a reality and fulfill our commitments to our community. We are working on a zero balance budget and making sacrifices in order to live into the budget and prepare to renew our commercial credit line which includes our mortgage. We all agree that we would like to do more. But first we must meet our budget goal.
At our annual meeting on June 9, we approved a budget of $610,000. We are currently $50,000 short of that goal.
Together, We can Close the Gap!
You are essential to our success! We need 200 people to join us in the next two weeks and our goal of closing the gap can be achieved. We, your Minister and your Board, believe in all of you, and your ability to manifest our values.
Close the Gap Campaign
We need 200 people to pledge $25 more a month. That will raise $60,000. We need you to be one of those people. If we all pull together, we can do this! Here’s a breakdown:
$25/month = $6.25/week = only .89/day
$25/month x 12 months = $300/year
200 pledging units x $300 per year ($25/month) = $60,000
By Monday, June 24, please send an email to:
closethegap@phoenixuu.org
In that email, state your name and what you would like to add to your current pledge. We will do all the tech work within the system. If you have auto payments through your bank, you will need to adjust those, after you have notified us through email.
If you have not yet made a pledge for this year, please send us an email and we will get your information into the system.
For those who are already doing all they can—we understand and thank you.
For those who can do more to help out, please consider it. Whatever you can give, you are joining together in community to make our UUCP community garden grow.
With Love and Gratitude,
Reverend Christine and the Board of Trustees
