Endowment Fund Money Still Available: October 23, 2020
There are Endowment Funds remaining to be distributed during this fiscal year. According to the Endowment Trust, the money can be used in the following ways:
- supporting special church projects not anticipated in or provided for by the operating budget;
- supporting the communities in which UCE resides and operates including spiritual, educational and economic needs;
- enhancing, repairing, supplementing or improving UCE’s building and property, including both real and personal property;
- scholarships and grants to UCE members and staff for education and training; and
- supporting the wider mission of Unitarian Universalism.
The next two deadlines for submitting grant applications during the current church year are October 31, 2020 and January 31, 2021. Applications may be filled out online and submitted digitally. Contact Jane Kenamore, jkenamore@ameritech.net, Margaret Schatz, mesharbor@gmail.com or Trudi Davis, trudiannedavis@gmail.com, if you have an idea for a grant proposal.
The Endowment Committee and the Board of Trustees appreciates the work of UCE members who have submitted Endowment Fund grant applications so far. The initiative of these members to identify grant opportunities, within UCE and in the larger community, and efforts to present them in applications for Endowment funding, have greatly extended the impact of UCE.
