UU Wellesley Hills always welcomes your generous financial support!
Plate Collections
Every Sunday and on Christmas Eve, we pass the plate for the benefit of charitable organizations chosen by our Social Action Council in collaboration with our Senior Minister. There are several options available for making plate contributions: one can add cash or checks to the plate when it is passed, mail in a personal check or request payment by a donor advised fund, or make a payment electronically via our Online Giving Page. Please remember to select the “Give to Plate Collections” option from the drop-down menu when making a donation online.
Individual Donations
Our operating budget is funded primarily through individual donations; we also raise money through facilities rentals and periodic fundraising events. As a congregation, we are entirely self-supporting.
Each year we conduct a Stewardship Campaign when members and friends make a pledge for the coming fiscal year starting in July. Pledges can be entered HERE. If you have any question about the status of your pledge, please contact our Treasurer directly. Pledge payments can be made at any time via our Online Giving Page (please remember to select the “Give to Pledge Payments” option from the drop-down menu), by mailing a check to the UU Wellesley Hills office at 309 Washington Street, Wellesley MA 02481, or via a donor advised fund.
In addition to annual pledge payments, we greatly appreciate any special or directed gifts that help UU Wellesley Hills better live out its mission to build a faith community that inspires spiritual growth, just and responsible action, and lives of compassion, purpose, and hope. Questions about special gifts should be directed to our Treasurer.
Planned Giving
A significant way to assure the financial health of our faith community is legacy planning. End-of-life gifts designated for our endowment fund help us to grow this permanent asset, which provides income for this congregation in perpetuity. It is a wonderful expression of your gratitude for what UU Wellesley Hills may have contributed to your own life.
Please consider joining the scores of individuals who have already included UU Wellesley Hills in their estate plans and become members of our Planned Giving Circle.
