We Raise Money for Others
The United Church of Bacon does not accept monetary donations. We ask our members and supporters to donate directly to charities that are in line with our beliefs. In addition to sending donors to approved groups one at a time, we’ve also run major funding drives for select charities, often those in the secular community that support our goals of separation of church and state and ending discrimination against atheists.
Funds Raised
Since our inception in 2010 The United Church of Bacon has raised millions of dollars for AIDS, cancer, autism, and for other atheist charities, including the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), the Secular Student Alliance (SSA), the Secular Coalition for America (SCA), and American Atheists
