give

There are many ways to support First Unitarian Society and to act as good stewards of the wonderful community that we all enjoy.

FUS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. We are able to accept donations and payments by cash, check, credit card, and securities transfers. Read our privacy policy.

Read about the different ways you can be a steward of FUS below.

pledge

Financial pledges from our membership sustain our Society and make up nearly 70% of our annual revenue. Every March we ask our community to communicate their intentions to give for next fiscal year (July-June) through our Stewardship Campaign.
