Faith-Based Investing
Our goal is to invest congregational financial resources in alignment with Unitarian Universalist Principles and values.
A committee manages the Congregation’s Socially Responsible Loan Program which is designed to assist under-served communities, enhance employment opportunities, support women entrepreneurs, encourage rural prosperity, and provide credit for under-banked communities.
HOW IT WORKS:
After reviewing specific loan proposals and relevant
financial and historical data, the SRI Committee
may negotiate terms of a low-interest loan or
deposit with a 3 to 5 year term. Rates can vary.
Typically, loans are interest-only with payment of
the principal at the end of the term. If approved, the
proposal then requires additional approval of the
Board of Trustees of the Congregation.
