Please make your gift today for the Fall 2024 Chalice Lighters call to help Unitarian Universalism thrive in the Central East Region. Your generous donations have made possible it possible for congregations to reach some ambitious goals. You have given critical support to congregations funding a wide range of projects, including improving accessibility, adding sustainable heating and cooling, creating welcoming art and entrances, adding prominent signage and new staff positions. Congregations of all sizes throughout the region are grateful for your support.

Some grants take longer than others to bear fruit. This season’s Spark features the successful outcome of a grant for staff made in 2020. The UU Fellowship of Northern Westchester in Mt. Kisco NY was awarded a $20,000 Chalice Lighter Grant to hire a membership coordinator to transform outreach and membership support. It could not start using the grant for two years, because of the pandemic. Now the staff member funded by the grant has been critical to helping the congregation build a presence in the community, attract visitors and help visitors move along the path to membership.

You can learn more about them in this month's Spark Newsletter (PDF).

Your donations provide the funds to make grants to UU congregations and groups of congregations throughout our region, helping them to build strong, resilient, and justice-loving communities. Please give by December 20 to help us reach our goal.

Thank you on behalf of our congregations from your Chalice Lighter Program Committee and staff.

Your Chalice Lighter dollars are helping to spread the message of Unitarian Universalism throughout the Central East Region.
