Do you have a suggestion for a special plate recipient for the 2026-27 church year?

  • Operate in Jefferson County or Colorado generally
  • Are small enough that $2,000-4,000 would make a meaningful difference in their budget
  • Help larger numbers of people
  • Have ties to the members of Jefferson Unitarian Church, particularly if our members are, or are able to be, actively involved in their work
  • Align with our Unitarian Universalist values and traditions
