Special Financial Report

Unity of the Valley is a spiritual home for about 150 adults and youth. This place belongs to each of us!

OUR 2025 BUDGET: Together, we raised $38,000 for our new roof, and over $6,000 for Paul Biondi’s instrument repairs after his accident. Thank you! Yet with more building repairs, rising utility rates, and many people struggling financially, we are trending toward a year-end deficit.

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE: Our vision for 2026 includes supporting Music Director Laura DuBois’ ministerial education at about $4,000 per year, and giving a $4,000 boost to our growing Youth & Family Ministry. Have you noticed all the bright young souls in our midst?

MEETING OUR 2026 BUDGET will take about $4,400 weekly income, or $29 for every adult and child. Since that’s a high bar for many in our community, we invite those who can to raise their support in one or more of these ways:

1. Join our Simple Giving Program, or increase your automatic donations by any amount you can. Use the form in the Fellowship Hall or contact our office.
2. Supplement your regular giving with a generous year-end gift to help us meet our budget. Did you know you don’t need to itemize to make a tax-deductible “qualified charitable distribution” from your IRA?
3. Along with your regular giving, select a special fund to support, such as Laura’s Ministerial Fund or Youth & Family Ministry. Just make a note on your donation(s).
4. Add Unity to your Will. Your funds can even be placed in our Endowment, which preserves the principle.

Together in Unity, we make a difference. Thank you for being an instrument of Love and Light in the world! ~Your Board of Trustees
