Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program
Please review the guidelines for each fund before applying.
The UU Funding Program has 2 grant cycles, one in the spring and one in the fall.
Applications are loaded to the platform no later than early March for the Spring cycle, and early September for the Fall cycle. It is simply depends on the time required to update the application for the cycle.
The Fund for International UUism only accepts applications for the Spring cycle, with a March 31st deadline.
The applications for our other 3 funds, below, are due March 31st and September 30th.
The Fund for UUism
The Fund for UU Social Responsibility
The Fund for a Just Society
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.

Be a FANTASTIC Fundraiser for Your UU Cause!
Over the years, 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 continue to offer the workshop virtually during the COVID era, offering a way for us to learn in the safety of our own homes! The knowledge and skills gained are invaluable! 2023's workshop is scheduled for Tuesdays in January, starting on January 10th! Email us, or check The Rowe Center for developments in the future, as we'd like to grow this offering and these skills in our grantees!
Challenge Grant Awardees may use FAITIFY 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!
