Our goals for the 2025-26 annual campaign for the operating fund:

1. Create a solid foundation for increasing the ministerial position by fully funding ministerial professional expenses and benefits this year and then increasing the percent of the position next year.
2. Be a conscientious employer and give COLA increases to all employees.
3. Ensure we are a strong, resourced community, ready to act with courage as a member of the Sonoma County Sanctuary Coalition for Immigrant Defense and respond to the challenges of the upcoming year as we feel called. 

To meet these goals, we will need to increase the amount pledged from our members and friends by 10% (from $161,000 last year to $177,000 this year).
