2026 Pledge Drive: 

Greetings Dear Ones ~

ERUUF was founded 60 years ago in response to a time of major upheaval in our country, out of a great desire to form a religious community where people with progressive views and values could gather freely. Now, 60 years later, we are immensely grateful for the vision and hopes of the 42 people who signed the charter that created this community. 

I am happy to say that today we are a thriving and growing institution of more than 1,300 adults, children, and youth. We have become a well-regarded anchor of justice and care in Durham,

Your pledge is a good intent statement to give a certain amount of money to ERUUF within the upcoming fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).

A pledge can be paid with cash, check, credit card or stock transfer.

Many people choose to become a Sustainer with easy auto-draft options. 

We gratefully acknowledge the gifts of time and talent as well as all monetary contributions to ERUUF.

We encourage 100% participation no matter the size of the pledge. Every Pledge Counts!

ERUUF was founded 60 years ago in response to another time of major upheaval in our country, out of a great desire to form a religious community where people with progressive views and values could gather freely. What we collectively do today lays the foundation for our next 60 years of building Beloved Community.

As a vibrant community dedicated to spirit, service, justice and love, your financial commitment is needed to empower the mission and vision of this Fellowship. We are asking everyone to reconnect to ERUUF with a pledge of support.

Our congregation is thriving in the midst of a chaotic world. We now need to the resources to meet the emerging needs of a growing congregation (805 members and counting). 

To continue to grow and thrive, please help us reach our $1.1 Million goal. Every gift counts!

The amount you pledge is entirely up to you. We encourage a pledge that makes you feel good to be doing your part in this beloved community. We encourage 100% participation no matter the size of the pledge. Need help calculating your annual pledge amount? See the UUA Fair Share Giving Guide.

What is the Pledge Drive About?

The pledge drive offers members, friends, and visitors the opportunity to think about what ERUUF means to them and to pledge their financial support accordingly. Your pledge, with others, helps define the budget for the next fiscal year, July 1-June 30. The pledge drive involves stewardship activities in February-March, but pledges are welcomed anytime during the year.
