Deadline: 15 September 2017
The Unitarian Universalist Funding Program is currently open for applications inviting non-Unitarian Universalist groups in the U.S. and Canada that:
- use community organizing to bring about systemic change leading to a more just society;
- mobilize those who have been disenfranchised and excluded from resources, power and the right to self-determination; and
- have an active focused campaign to create systemic change.
Grant Information
The maximum grant is $15,000. Most grants are between $6,000 and $8,000. Challenge or matching grants are a possibility. Grants are given for one year. Second-year funding is possible after submitting a new proposal and a final (or interim) report. Third-year funding for the same project is unusual.
Eligibility Criteria
Priority is given to active, specific campaigns to create change in the economic, social, and political structures that affect their lives. It is expected the organization’s infrastructure, including leadership, membership and systems of accountability to be developed by the time of the application. Projects that are less likely to receive conventional funding because of the innovative or challenging nature of the work or the economic and social status of the constituency are welcomed.
How to Apply
Interested applicants must submit application documents in a prescribed format via postal mail.
Eligible Countries: U.S. and Canada
