Pledges are the main source of funds that enable UCV to do its work. Our initiatives in spiritual exploration, support for children and youth, community building, music, social justice, reconciliation with indigenous people, and environmental sustainability depend upon generous pledges. Our many online services and programs are possible because of pledges. Annual financial support from members and friends allows us to implement our UU principles and our UCV vision. We are grateful for your gifts, large and small. Thank-you for pledging as generously as you can.

Please note that the UCV Constitution requires that to remain in good standing Members must make a financial or other contribution of record each year. The Board sets policies for minimum contributions and this year the amount is $120. If you cannot give this amount, please talk in confidence to our Minister or a member of the Canvass team about an exemption.

Thank-you for your generosity!
