Giving First for March 2026
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 $250,000 to more than 70 organizations.
For March 2026, Boston Women’s Fund will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish. Boston Women’s 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.
First Parish and Boston Women’s Fund share commitments to justice, equity, and community care. BWF would welcome the opportunity to join First Parish’s Justice & Inclusion programming, participate in community dialogues, and share learnings from our work with grassroots leaders. First Parish could engage by hosting BWF in a forum, sharing our events with congregants, or partnering around conversations that advance racial and gender justice.
The other half of the offering supports the life and work of First Parish.
