The Social Action Council recently reminded us that it is time to submit the shared offering nominations for next year. Submit your nomination today! We have been a generous congregation in our contributions. This report covers the past eight years of donations.
The report shows that we have contributed to 56 organizations. Some organizations have garnered sustaining support because of our long-term relationships with them. Organizations such as Interfaith Action of Evanston, The Community Renewal Society UUANI, the UU Prison Ministry, and the Mitten Tree have received consistent support. Other organizations have been nominated only once or twice and thus have received less funding.
This information is offered to spur congregants into some deep thinking about how we want out money to be shared with the world. The Social Justice Council has set criteria for funding organizations though the shared plate that address systemic racism and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color and the poor.
Think deeply and creatively and submit your nominations by the July 31st deadline.
