Additional UUFP Information
Responsibilities of Grantees
If you receive a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program (UUFP):
- The money must be used only for the project described in your application. If there are significant changes in your project, we ask that you contact us.
- We expect that the money will be spent within 14 months. Any money you do not spend within the 14 months must be returned, unless you request an extension in writing.
- You agree to submit a post grant Final Report, (2-3 pages) which will
include:
- A description of the major activities of the project, any significant changes in your activities from your original proposed plan, and if so, the reasons for the changes.
- The project’s major accomplishments and the ways you met or did not meet your goals.
- A final project financial statement, accounting for all actual income received and expenses incurred for the project.
The Funding Panels
Four volunteer panels review applications and award grants with the assistance of staff. Panel members are Unitarian Universalists appointed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Board of Trustees in accordance with the UUA bylaws, which affirm and promote “the full participation of persons in all of its activities, and in the full range of human endeavor, without regard to race, color, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age, or national origin and without requiring adherence to any particular interpretation of religion or to any particular religious belief or creed.” Efforts are made to achieve a balance on the Panels in terms of geographic and demographic representation, experience, education and interests.
Funding Overlap with the UU Veatch Program

For information about their guidelines and application procedures, contact the UU Veatch Program at Shelter Rock directly at (516) 627-6576.
