Fall Social Justice Grants

It’s time to consider applying for a fall social justice grant! Think of ways our congregation can make an impact on Monroe County.

Applications will be accepted in October. Once the applications are received, the committee meets to determine the recipients. Preference is given to the following but others will be considered:

• Being a part of a Social Justice task force
• The number of UU members involved
• Consistent with the mission of the UU church
• Does this empower the organization to empower others?
• Is this seed money rather than for maintenance?
• Will our contribution make a real difference in their budget?
• Do they have finite goals?
• Have they received UU social justice grants in the past?
• The monies cannot be used to pay for professional services or salaries.

Fall Grants announcements are made in November and the recipients have one year to use their funds or they will be returned to our SPF account. They are also asked to write a review for our newsletter of how funds were used.
