The Endowment Fund was created in 1994 to ensure the long-term success of the Fellowship. Since then, members’ gifts and bequests have us well on the way to building a mature fund to realize that goal.
Our current fund balance of $457,177 reflects prudent investing by the UUA Common Endowment Fund that has kept our balance relatively stable during recent market volatility.
We’re excited to share the news that the “PR Jumpstart” project was selected by the Fellowship Board to receive the $12,000 Endowment disbursement approved by the congregation in 2021. These funds will be used to engage a professional marketing consultant to develop messaging, templates and tools that we will use to proactively promote the Fellowship to our community, supporting our vision toward:
- ”becoming a large, well-recognized, diverse, vibrant, active congregation”
- ”sharing the joys of Unitarian Universalism and its moral philosophies”
- “expanding and diversifying our membership”
Thanks to Dan Reidy for envisioning and proposing this exciting project, and to all those who submitted proposals for consideration. We so appreciate your interest in making our Fellowship the best it can be!
Please keep our Endowment in mind as you make your own long-term financial plans and honor significant events and people in your life. A small contribution when a child has a graduation, a family member or friend’s milestone birthday or anniversary is reached, or any life transition occurs all help our Endowment grow.
