David Cauffman, Cascadia Chalice Lighter

“I support the program because it is a direct way to strengthen and spread Unitarian Universalism.”

Donates to: Chalice Lighters
Location: Whidbey Island, WA
Congregation: Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, Washington

As a long time Chalice Lighter, I support the program because it is a direct way to strengthen and spread Unitarian Universalism in our part of the world. Together, our contributions make a big difference so that liberal religious community is available to our neighbors.

Chalice Lighters’ generosity has helped my congregation to grow and establish a meaningful local presence and voice. I like that Cascadia Chalice Lighters vets requests and prompts donors; it couldn’t be easier to “do the right thing”!

I’ve been a Chalice Lighter in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years now. It’s one way I can advance liberal religion in our region and beyond. Over that time I’ve been a member of two congregations that benefitted from both Chalice Lighter grants and Cascadia Growth Fund loans. I know that these congregations and many others are stronger and more vibrant because of what Cascadia’s funding programs have made possible.

The first time I attended a District Assembly, I realized that my congregation was part of a much larger body – one committed to strengthening all the UUs in the Northwest.  When invited to support the ministers, interns and congregations supported by the Hewett-Hopper-Raible Fund, I was inspired to make the first of many joyful gifts over the years.  I like how we all have each other’s backs!

University Unitarian Church, Seattle (Formerly of First Unitarian Church, Portland)

I’ve always been a member of a large UU congregation. When I became active in a leadership role and met other PNWD leaders – including Rod Stewart, the financial issues of our smaller congregations became very real to me. That’s when my giving juices focused on the group now known as Cascadia. It’s unique and provides support not available elsewhere. I invite other UUs from big churches to join me.
