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 April 2026 Share the Plate partner is
Nevada County Immigrant Rights Network.
The Nevada County Immigrant Rights Network is a network of local individuals and groups who support the rights and wellbeing of all people in our community, especially immigrants and others who are being targeted for detention and deportation. We stand in solidarity with our vulnerable neighbors and will offer our help, resources, and protection as we are able.
Donate online here via Earth Justice Ministries and be sure to contact them to let them know your gift is designated to “Immigrant Rights.” You can also send a check to Earth Justice Ministries, PO 783, Nevada City, CA 95959. Please write “Immigrant Rights” in the memo line.

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.
