Overview

Cause areas available with a free TheShareWay account.

Guidelines Grants are made to Unitarian Universalist (UU) organizations in the U.S., Mexico and Canada that:

grow and strengthen Unitarian Universalist institutions and community life
nurture and celebrate our liberal religious heritage
encourage a generosity of spirit among UUs that is reflected in commitments of time, money and energy UU Congregations: When evaluating applications, the UU Funding Program takes into consideration the congregation's commitment to meet the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Annual Program Fund Honor Congregation contribution.

Funding Priorities Priority is given to innovative, challenging or experimental programs that will have wide denominational impact or that address needs unmet by the institutional structure of the denomination. We rarely make grants for projects where the impact is limited to the applicant organization. Applications for conferences or meetings must detail measurable outcomes, products or services that will result from the event.

We prefer projects with plans for income from diverse sources, including contributions from the members of the group applying.
