Giving First for October 2025
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 October, The Record Co. (TRC) will share half the plate. Since 2012, The Record Co. (TRC) has been the heartbeat of Boston’s music community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, they’ve grown from a single recording studio into Boston’s largest provider of affordable creative space, operating both their original Mass Ave facility and their 90-room Morrissey Boulevard location. Their facilities serve over 400 active bands and creative professionals, making them more than just a space — they are a catalyst for Boston’s creative community. TRC’s mission remains clear: to remove the technical and social barriers between music makers and their creative visions.
The other half of the offering supports the life and work of First Parish.
