Friends and visitors
Encourage friends or visitors to contribute to UUSC at membership levels.  As long as they contribute through your congregation (are identified as being affiliated with your congregation), they will count toward the 100%.

Students
Student memberships add to your total UUSC membership. And they get the next generation of UUSC supporters started.  Friends, visitors, and students count toward UUSC membership but are not counted in your congregation's membership as reported to the UUA, so they are very helpful in reaching the 100% level.

Supplementing Guest at Your Table donations
Occasionally GAYT boxes are turned in with cash enclosed but with no name on the box form.  Use those cash contributions to supplement other contributions which are somewhat below the UUSC membership requirements. For example, if an adult contributes $30, supplement that contribution with $10 from the miscellaneous cash contribution. Check with the donor before doing so, or inform them that you have done so. You can also use some of that cash to pay for youth memberships for families who may find it a hardship otherwise. Our minister has also offered some of her "minister's discretionary funds" to use for "scholarships" in hardship cases (for any category of membership.) 

Keep careful records!!
If the Guest at Your Table box form is not completed and the donation is a check, use the enclosed check to complete the Tally Sheet sent to UUSC. If the contribution is in cash, get the donor’s information from them or from your congregation's directory. UUSC must receive the donor’s information and donation information in order to acknowledge the gift or credit membership. 

Keep useful records
Keep your own database of contributors, amount contributed, and category of UUSC membership (if any).  Get from UUSC their record of givers and membership status and compare the two. You can request an Excel or PDF members and supporters listing from UUSC by emailing volunteerservices@uusc.org .  Omission of two or three people from UUSC's list could cause you to narrowly miss out on the 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% level; mistakes can happen!  The records kept by the local rep or UUSC's records can also be used to determine which previous UUSC members could benefit from a gentle reminder that their membership has expired.

Request a UUSC guest speaker to help keep up inspiration
When your congregation is close to the 50%, 75%, or 100% level, arrange for a UUSC speaker to do a Sunday service.  Not only are they outstanding speakers who can represent UUSC inspiringly, they can challenge the congregation to come up with a few more UUSC members.

To request a speaker, email speakers@uusc.org .
