Generosity is one of the key disciplines of a spiritual and ethical life, inviting us to open our hearts and share our resources to create the kind of world we long to see. The Washington Ethical Society, like most religious congregations, is responsible for funding its own programs and operations. While WES raises money through a number of means, the most significant source by far is the financial commitment of our members and friends.
