Summary and Report Once a month, ERUUF gives away the collection plate offering from a designated Sunday. The Generosity Sunday Committee reviews nominations of potential organizations to select the monthly recipients. In our decisions, we strive to support ERUUF's commitment to change, not charity, in equality, justice and peace among members of the world community. To be selected, organizations must meet our selection criteria that include:
1) tax-exempt status,
2) those that foster improvements to the human condition,
3) non-political or individual causes focus,
4) alignment with the principles and goals of UUA and ERUUF, and
5) absence of required allegiance to a particular religious stance.
We give priority review to those nominations received from ERUUF's members and friends.
The Generosity Sunday Committee urges members and friends to nominate potential recipients of the Generosity Sunday collections. Nomination forms are available via the website (Nomination Form) or the office. So far this program has donated an average of over $2,000 to each selected organization. Thank you so much for supporting this practical expression generosity.
