Getting closer – We need everyone to carry us over the pledge target goal!

April 18th, 2026 by

Our annual meeting is next Sunday and we are really close.

Where We Stand

  • 119 congregants have pledged a total of $507K — including 20 new pledgers!
  • Along with the matching fund, we are now at $520K!
  • We are $30,000 away from our goal of $550,000, all of which is needed to continue bringing you all the benefits UUCPA has to offer.

The Matching Fund — just about 1,000 left

As a reminder, a group of generous donors has created a matching fund to encourage others to pledge and increase their giving.  The matching fund offer has been extended to April 18.

  • If you have pledged before: Any increase above last year’s pledge will be matched dollar for dollar.
  • If you are a new pledger: Your entire pledge will be doubled.

We want to keep the momentum and have as many pledges as possible. Whatever you can give, your pledge matters. It really shows your commitment and helps sustain this community.

If you haven’t yet made your pledge, or if you’re considering an increase, now is the moment. Let’s cross the finish line together.  Send an email to pledge@uucpa.org, or pick up a pledge card and drop it by the office.
