The Dedicated Offering Committee selects non-profit organizations that our Society will support with donations from our Sunday collections. We solicit UUSA’s members for names of organizations through a form which is available in the office and on-line here.

EmbraceRace was begun by a local couple – a multiracial woman and an African American man – who were concerned about how they would raise their two children to flourish in a challenging world. They realized that how they talked about and otherwise navigated racial issues would be very important for their children’s futures and for their family. 

EmbraceRace was established in 2016 to 1) provide resources to parents, caregivers, educators and others concerned about children’s racial learning; 2) build communities of exchange and mutual support for those caregivers; and 3) work toward the development of a field of learning and practice for caregivers and for researchers, children’s media professionals, health professionals, and all those whose efforts make it easier or harder to raise children who are thoughtful, informed and brave about race in the US.

It does this by providing a wide range of resources, including a newsletter, webinars, articles, action guides, a podcast, and a wide range of curricular programs and discussion spaces.  Hundreds of thousands of people have utilized their support to raise “colorbrave” children as they learn to live in a multiracial and multi-cultural world.

Please give generously to help EmbraceRace continue its mission of raising children to successfully face their future.

Respectfully,
