It takes a lot of effort to keep the wheels turning.
The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa is funded by its members and it costs about $2,000 per member to keep running our programs and maintaining our building. We have several different annual campaigns and events to raise funds for the congregation, plus other fundraising events for specific causes.
Pledge Campaign
We hold an annual pledge campaign in the fall - starting in late September and running through late November - that educates our church community about our budget and what is needed to fund us for the year.
This is, by far, our biggest "fundraiser" of the year. About 70% of FirstU's annual budget is supported directly by pledge donations from members and friends.
