How much should I pledge?
While everyone answers this question for themselves, we simply ask that everyone gives as generously as they can based on their financial situation and their commitment to UUCB. For some, Dan’ Quilter’s encouragement to “Give until it feels good” is all they need.
Others have asked for more particular guidance. The following Fair Share Giving Guide from the UUA provides a more concrete breakdown of pledging in reference to income:
This chart is based on the UUA’s Fair Share Contribution Guide, which can be viewed here: https://www.uua.org/files/pdf/n/new_fair_share_contribution_guide_final.pdf
