Giving at Foothills Unitarian

At Foothills, our budget reflects our deepest values. There are no “them” in our church. Our church is 100% “us.” Everything we do, from our justice work to our community service, from cultivating the next generation of children to embrace progressive values to offering transformative programs for adults, is supported financially by the people of Foothills. Giving is an expression of gratitude for the gifts we have been given. It is our way of passing it on so courageous love may reach others. 

Gifts to this fund directly support our day-to-day church operations. We value being a just employer and maintaining a welcoming and safe building. By donating to this fund, you are helping ensure we can continue to function in alignment with these values and continue to serve our community for years to come. Please consider making a recurring donation by selecting a frequency under the drop-down on foothillsuu.org/donate.

This work of unleashing courageous love and building the Beloved Community – a world free from oppression – requires all of us: our time, our passions, and our resources. We ask for pledges – commitments to give a certain amount during a year – because they help us plan our budget responsibly. The greater our pledge base, the more impact we can have together. Make your 2024 pledge today! To make a payment toward your 2023 pledge, please visit foothillsuu.org/pledgepayment.

During most weekly offering, we Share The Plate 50/50 with a community partner who is making a difference in Northern Colorado lives. Some of the community organizations we’ve shared the plate with recently, include the Immigrant Freedom Fund, Alliance for Suicide Prevention, and the Food Bank of Larimer County. Give at foothillsuu.org/sharetheplate.

Our building expansion is well underway with an anticipated grand opening in fall 2023 (learn more HERE), but we need consistent funding to make all the necessary building updates a reality. If you’ve already pledged to the Capital Campaign, please click here to contribute towards your pledge. If you’d like to make a pledge to the Capital Campaign, please contact Katie Watkins at katie@foothillsuu.org (you can do so before or after making your first contribution). One time donations to the Capital Campaign are also welcome.

At Foothills Unitarian Church, we believe in the transformative impact of courageous love activism and the power of liberal religion. By leaving a legacy gift, you have a remarkable opportunity to ensure that these values continue to flourish and shape the future. Your legacy gift will become an enduring symbol of your commitment to inclusivity, justice, and compassion, inspiring future generations.

Everyone needs help sometimes. The Ministerial Discretionary Fund allows the ministers to help out members of our community when they’re in a tough spot or support un-budgeted needs within the church or organizations doing work that aligns with our values. Whether it’s helping pay a medical bill, moving assistance, or something else, the Ministerial Discretion Fund ensures we can help even when other community resources or services don’t already exist or can’t provide what’s needed.
