Money is needed for printing, publicity, supplies, phone calls, staff people, and so on.
Some congregations give sizable contributions to social change groups.
Below are suggestions for how social activists can obtain funding from the congregation's budget, from special fund raising projects, from the Unitarian Universalist Fund for Social Responsibility and other sources. Money for social justice in the congregation's budget Try to get your congregation to budget a portion of its budget to support social justice programs. This is one way that the congregation can do something specific to support the values of liberal religion and the Principles and Purposes or our movement. And it also ensures that you have the money you need to run your program. Two percent of the congregation's overall budget is a reasonable amount to allocate for social justice programming.
