The Ahiah Board of Trustees is planning the 2025 budget.  So far this year, 80% of the money donated to Ahiah has come from those people and families who pledged to Ahiah for 2024.  Please indicate your pledge for 2025 by clicking the button above or by filling out the Pledge Card that was mailed to you and returning it to the Center.  

​

Your pledge helps ensure that Ahiah can continue offering sacred space for our Beloved community and spiritual growth for you and others who are on their way. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is appreciated, and we provide regular reports so you can easily track your giving. Your support is vital to Ahiah’s ability to make a positive impact on the world around us!

FAQ's about pledging

• Q:  Why do we ask for a pledge?​

  • A:  Ahiah has many expenses that require fiscal planning.  It helps the Finance Committee and the Ahiah Board of Trustees to make decisions if we have a good idea of how much financial support we can count on from our community.

• Q: Is this a contract that I am financially obligated to pay?

  • A: NO!  The amount you indicate is a pledged amount that you are expecting to give to Ahiah in 2025.  The amount can change at any time (higher or lower).  We ask that you let us know (send email to RevMichael@ahiah.com) so that we can plan our budget to the changed amount.​

• Q:  How does Ahiah know the money I gave is from me?​​​

  • A: Money given must have your name against it to count toward the Pledge.  We know who you are when you give with a check, contribute online, or put a cash contribution in an offering envelope with your name on it.

• Q:  I gave money, but it did not appear against my pledge.  Why is that?

  • A:  Our congregation does many things with Ahiah.  Some are to allow us to have money for certain activities (like Angel Tree Project gifts at Christmas or money given to support sending our teens to Teen Camp), which is not counted toward the Pledge.  We also have events (Hollywood Bowl, etc.), classes (Foundations, Metaphysical Bible, etc.), and workshops (Energy Balancing, Drum Circles, etc.) where money is given to Ahiah, which also does not count toward the pledge.   ​

• Q: What money counts toward my Pledge?

  • Any donation given for the weekly Conscious Contributions on Sunday.

  • Donations that support our groups (like Women's Circle, Healing Service, Book Study, Beloved Community, Ubuntu, etc.).​

  • Donations that are received without a specific use for the money.
