Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For March 2026, Boston Women\u2019s Fund will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish. Boston Women\u2019s Fund uplifts, advocates for, and invests in women, girls, and gender-expansive people who are leading grassroots organizations and systems-change efforts across Greater Boston. BWF provides flexible funding, leadership and youth development, and educational programming that strengthen movements led by those most impacted by injustice. We prioritize BIPOC-led and BIPOC-serving grassroots organizations with annual budgets under $500,000, helping build power, opportunity, and lasting community impact. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text \u201cfpuu\u201d to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive.
