CUE: who are they?

CUE is a collaborative fundraising organization that actively encourages and facilitates congregational support for the UCC’s three midwestern seminaries: Chicago, United and Eden.

CUE operates as an independent 501(c)3 outside of the United Church of Christ. They raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for seminary education each year on behalf of the seminaries, distributing funds equally among them and supplementing their ability to raise funds directly.

Communications + fundraising

Chicago, United and Eden Seminaries of the United Church of Christ, (CUE) receives financial support from local midwest congregations through a shared giving system. Working together, we’ll explore ways to encourage giving through this channel, looking at messaging for appeals, coordinating stewardship, and crafting acknowledgements for congregational gifts.

At a time when leadership of emerging seminarians is so important in the changing church before us, we are thrilled to have helped to ensure that funding continues to flow toward the source of theological education and formation.
