April 30: Deadline to Nominate an Organization for Outreach Collection

•

Request for 2025-26 Outreach Nominations

The Social Justice Committee invites you to nominate an organization to receive one of next year’s Outreach Collections. If you would like to suggest and sponsor an Outreach Collection next church year for a non-profit that is special to you and supports our UU principles, please submit an online nomination form by Wednesday, April 30th.

The nomination form requests basic information about the organization with an opportunity to explain any relationship you may have with this nonprofit. Fill out the: Outreach Collection Recipient Nomination Form

Specifications: Outreach Collections support non-profit organizations in our local, regional, and wider communities which promote our Unitarian Universalist values. Organizations may be UU-related or non-UU-related.  They must:

  • Be not-for-profit [501(c) 3] organizations so that personal donations may be tax-deductible
  • Be non-partisan
  • Not be large and/or high-profile organizations which conduct mass public appeals for funds

The Social Justice Committee encourages nominations of organizations with which you, a family member or an AUUC group has a partnership/relationship or where you think one could be established in the future.

AUUC’s generosity: Since the first outreach collection in September 2001 through January 2025, AUUC has donated $324,334.29 to 79 different organizations. Thank you, Accotink!!
