Each Spring, we ask all of our members and friends to consider what they can pledge by way of financial support to UUCD for our next fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). Financial pledges from our members and friends are the basis for our annual budget and the primary way that we can maintain our mission of growing a loving, inclusive, spiritually- and socially-active community in central Delaware. (Read more about making a pledge.).
Social and Environmental Justice
Each month the Social and Environmental Justice Committee recommends a charity for UUCD to support. The treasurer will consolidate contributions made during the month and send a check from UUCD to the charity. All organizations which receive our donations are local to Kent County and are in alignment with UUA’s suggestions to make our social justice action proximate to those most in need.

Endowment Fund
The UUCD Endowment Fund will build a broader and stronger foundation for our congregation’s future. This fund is administered by the UUCD Board and maintained in a special account. The Endowment Fund is independent of our operations account where pledge payments and other plate collections are deposited. (Read more about the Endowment Fund)
