UPDATE:
Friends! 

Our new online application platform is live at our
 UUFP Funding Center.   

Available applications are:
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 UU Social Responsibility (the main fund) 
The Fund for UU Social Responsibility - SPECIAL GRANTS
  • Actions of Public Witness
  • Congregation-Based Community Organizing
  • Get Out the Vote (GOTV)

On the platform, you'll use your email address to create your user account.  Setting up your User Account/Organization information may take more time than answering the application questions ~ and that's ok!

Once in the Funding Center, if you are not on the Application page, look for the "Apply" at the top of the window.

Be careful to select the appropriate fund's application, and begin composing!  (Or pasting, if you have been drafting in a word processor.)

As you complete each section, you'll need to click "Save."

To fill out our budget form, you will click a link in the platform that will take you to a Google Sheet.  You must answer yes to the question asking if you'd like to make a copy of our Project Budget form.  Then, you can complete the form there, or download it to work on it in Excel locally.  But you MUST download it to your device at some point to then upload it to our platform.

If you experience any difficulties, please email us at uufunding@gmail.com

​
Thank you for your patience!

You'll need to answer these questions or supply these items to apply:


Narrative
Each fund has different criteria, guidelines and narrative questions.  On the links below, please carefully read the guidelines to see if you qualify, and get a sense of the questions.  You may even start drafting answers in a word processor.  In the portal, the narrative questions have field limits that may require you to be more concise than you'd like.
