Each month UUCM donates 50% of undesignated offerings collected during Sunday services to a local organization doing good in our community and whose work matches our Unitarian Universalist values. With input from members, friends, and attenders, the Justice Team determines which organizations to support each year.
To donate to the organization directly, please use the links below.
Our July 2026 Share the Plate partner is

Note: UUCM currently supports the California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project, and thus the Nisenan, through an annual budgeted contribution of $1200.00 to CHIRP’s Ancestral Homelands Reciprocity Program (AHRP). Participation in the Reciprocity Program acknowledges the sovereignty of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan and their historic relationship with this land, their ancestral homelands. It also acknowledges and responds to, in a very small way, the fact that our UUCM building is located on historic Nisenan homelands, lands taken at the expense of the Nisenan and from which we now benefit.
