Chalice Lighters Campaign
Help fan the flame of liberal religion in our area by becoming a Chalice Lighter.
The Chalice Lighter program is a form of “pay-it-forward” generosity that financially assists the growth of new and existing UU membercongregations in the Pacific Northwest. These grants are funded exclusively through contributions from UU’s like YOU who participate as Chalice Lighters.
Chalice Lighters are Individuals in a congregation who commit to make a small donation to the Pacific Northwest Chalice Lighters fund three times each year. Currently, the ask is for $20, or $60 total for all three calls. Those donations, from more than 2,000 regional UU’s, are then distributed as grants.
When thirty percent of a congregation’s members or friends have joined the program AND the congregation is paying its full “fair share” to both the Pacific Western Region (PWR) and the Unitarian Universalist Association, the congregation may apply for a grant of its own.
There are approximately 35 members of UUCS who are active Chalice Lighters. At over 400 members, we need 100 new Spokane Chalice Lighters to reach the level necessary for a grant application of our own. We believe we can reach that goal of 100 during the month of November!
