AUUF relies on four main methods of support:

1) Financial Contributions

The Auburn Unitarian Universalist Fellowship relies on Members and Friends to support our annual budget. In the Spring of the year, we undertake an Every Member Canvass where we solicit annual pledges from members and friends. One time or recurring donations can be set up automatically through our Finance Committee (2020-21 Chairperson; Laura Kloberg)


2) Your Time

We are a small congregation with few staff- we rely heavily on volunteers to keep us running! See our Volunteer Page for more info.

3) Fundraising Programs

Our Annual Auction takes community donations of services and items and sells them to the highest bidder over the course of an exciting evening on the first Friday of December. Please encourage your friends and family to come out to this event to shop for unique holiday gifts!

Our Religious Exploration (RE) program hosts several events throughout the year to keep the program funded! These include a Car Wash, Pancake Breakfast, Valentines Express, and more! Contact our Director of RE (DRE) for more info: Julie Meadows, auufdre@gmail.com
