Give

It is the generosity of members and friends, through donations, that allow UU Shenandoah to continue its ministry to the congregation and the community. Donations may be made during the offering in Sunday services or online or through other methods. All donations are gratefully received.

There are several ways you may donate:

• To meet an annual pledge for the current or future fiscal year
• To support the Member’s Assistance Fund –a discretionary fund the minister can use to support members
• To support the operating fund – ongoing expenses of the church such as salaries, expenses to maintain heating and cooling, electricity, everything associated with the upkeep of the Church buildings and more
• To “Share the Plate” program – a monthly program of the Social Action and Justice committee to support a local non-profit organization
• Or some other specific Church Fund

This online donation form allows you to make a one-time donation or a regularly scheduled donation from a credit or debit card or an ACH donation directly from a bank account.

All donations are gratefully received.

For specific questions about donations, contact the Church Administrator at administrator@uushenandoah.org or call 540-869-6965.

The Endowment Fund of this church has been in existence for decades, since the 1990s, built with many contributions of various sizes. Donations to the UUCSV Endowment Fund are charitable donations. 

Having a strong endowment provides financial support for the faith-based community both now and in the future. It builds the vitality of the church and creates strong bonds within the congregation and with the larger community. 

Donations are welcome from members, friends, family, and the extended community at any time. Making a donation to the UUCSV Endowment is frequently chosen by members, friends, and family either to honor the memory of a loved one who has passed away or to recognize and honor someone special at any time. The Endowment is also a way for people to leave a legacy; individuals can include the UUCSV Endowment in their wills and estate planning. 

Each year the Endowment Fund Committee, depending on market conditions, withdraws a certain amount of money to fund activities that are not part of the annual UUCSV church operating budget. Projects have included community outreach, special music for church services, improvements to the sound system, religious and spiritual education, and many other projects. These projects would not be possible without the Endowment support. 

You may make a donation here at any time and, if you choose, you may donate, in memory of someone, or to honor someone, or to support the Endowment Fund in general.
