Through our stewardship, we affirm that fulfilling the mission of our congregation and our greater UU movement is a guiding principle in our lives. Beacon is an inherited trust, and as stewards we care for it in our time, to honor those who came before us and to build a legacy for those who will follow us.
“My experiences at Beacon have changed my perspective on my place in the world, what it needs and what I have to offer, very much for the better. It gives me great pleasure to financially commit to Beacon to help provide for its good works.”

Social Justice Plates
Every year the Social Justice Team sponsors collections for social justice issues that align with our mission ranging from climate activism, hunger and homelessness, gun violence prevention, racial justice to refugee response/immigrant rights and original lands ownership.
Organizations are chosen by the Social Justice Team with congregational input. Appeals are made for three consecutive Sundays when everything donated in the plate is given to the designated organization. You are welcome to donate to these special appeals anytime during the three-week appeal. Your donation is tax-deductible and very much appreciated. Thank you for helping us heal the world.
Beacon Unitarian Universalist Congregation is funded exclusively through the gifts and donations of our community, generous people like you!
Generous contributions of any size make a direct impact on our ability to live out our bold mission and values. Our annual budget is a moral document reflecting what we value and how we hope to live in the world.
