Our virtual presentation for the UUA General Assembly!
Announcements:
Hello friends!
The Spring 2022 cycle of Applications in the UUFP Funding Center will open in early March, with an expected Application deadline of March 31st.
The Fall 2022 should open in early September. The Fund for UUism and the Fund for UU Social Responsibility will have Application Deadlines of September 30th. The Fund for a Just Society Application Deadline will be October 15th.
Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Grants
GOTV Applications for UU Congregations and UU Organizations (including SANs) are ongoing! When we receive an application, we process, discern and report outcomes as quickly as possible given the urgency of action. Applications will be accepted until 2 pm on October 31, 2022.
Our other "Special Grants," Congregation-Based Community Organizing (CBCO) and Actions of Public Witness (APW), are available until mid December.
To submit an application, or complete an Interim or Final Report, log in to the UUFP Funding Center.
Once there, use your email address to login or create your user account. If you don't remember whether you have one or not, simply try resetting your password. You'll get a pop window asking for your email address. If you don't have an account, it will say "No account found with that email address." If you do have an account, it will email you a reset link.
If you did not have an account, don't be dismayed if setting up your User Account/Organization information takes more time than creating your application ~ that's really ok!
Once in the Funding Center, if you are not on the Application page, look for the "Apply" button at the top of the window.
Select the appropriate fund's application, and begin composing!
If the application or fund you seek is not there, it means we have not opened the seasonal cycle yet, or that fund is not accepting applications at the time. For instance, our GOTV fund is only available for Mid-Term and Presidential election cycles. When we're ready to receive and review applications, the Fund/Application will be visible in the Funding Center.
In the meantime, to help you start crafting your proposal, links to templates are below for our most recent application questions with the character limits noted. PLEASE DO NOT MAIL US ANYTHING. WE WILL NOT GET IT.
The Fund for a Just Society
The Fund for International Unitarian Universalism (available only in the Spring)
The Fund for Unitarian Universalism
The Fund for Unitarian Universalist Social Responsibility

A Note about the Grant Decision Process
- Panel meetings are held approximately two months after the application deadlines. Due to the confidential and financial information discussed in the deliberations, these meetings are not open to visitors.
- Results of our meetings are mailed and emailed as soon as possible and then posted on our website.
- UU Funding Program staff are happy to communicate via email with anyone who has questions or wants more information about our process and results.
Challenge Grant Awardees may use FAITHIFY to Fundraise
Many of our challenge grant recipients may now use FAITHIFY, Unitarian Universalism's crowdsourcing website, to fundraise for their challenge grants. Using FAITHIFY will allow you to activate your networks and connect with the larger UU community to raise these crucial challenge funds.
We want you to know that we are here to help. We've made posting a project on the site as simple as possible, and have documents and videos to help you every step of the way.
Go to faithify.org to get started. Let the faithifying begin!

Be a FANTASTIC Fundraiser for Your UU Cause!
We have been so fortunate to work with fundraising gurus Kim Klein and Stephanie Roth and The Rowe Center to present a fundraising workshops, inviting recent grant recipients from the Fund for UUism and the Fund for UU Social Responsibility. We are excited to share that The Rowe Center has been able to offer the workshop virtually during the COVID crisis, offering a way for us to learn in the safety of our own homes! The knowledge and skills gained are invaluable! Watch this space or the website for The Rowe Center for developments in the future, as we'd like to grow this offering and these skills in our grantees!
