Unitarian Universalist Funding Program

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program

Grantee Spotlight!

The work UU Funding Program grantees do is inspiring, uplifting and innovative! Who can't use a little inspiration these days? Check out our Grantee Spotlight, where we will share with you their amazing stories!

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!

Matching Grants Available for UU Congregations Participating in
Actions of Public Witness

The Fund for UU Social Responsibility has matching grants available of up to $1,500 to Unitarian Universalist congregations participating in actions of public witness. APW matching grants support UU congregations mobilizing at critical times to take action in a broad range of arenas of social and environmental justice. Learn more.

A Note about the Grant Decision Process

Panel meetings are held in Boston 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 posted on our website as soon as possible and are available by calling or e-mailing our offices.
UU Funding Program staff are happy to talk on the phone with anyone who has questions or wants more information about our process and results.

Be a FANTASTIC Fundraiser for Your UU Cause!

We have been so fortunate to work with fundraising guru Kim Klein and The Rowe Center each fall to present a fundraising workshop, inviting our most recent grant recipients from the Fund for UUism and the Fund for UU Social Responsibility. We are excited to share that the workshop will be offered at The Rowe Center again this fall! You do not need to be a grant recipient to attend, and the knowledge gained is invaluable!
