Endowment Funding 2022-2023: March 18, 2022

It’s that time. UCE committee and group leaders and UCE community organization members should begin work on Endowment Fund applications for FY 2022-23, beginning July 1. The first deadline for proposals is May 31 when applications for the next fiscal year will be reviewed and recommended to the Board of Trustees for funding.

• Read instructions and fill out an application.
• Purposes for use of endowment funds are listed in application instructions.
• Funds should be spent within the fiscal year awarded unless the application includes a specified timeline.
• One contact person should be named in the application. That contact person has the responsibility of communicating with their committee members about the application
• If considering a grant which benefits a community organization, read the qualifications and additional instructions.

Applications submitted during April and early May will receive a preliminary review by the Endowment Committee. This ensures that the application is filled out completely and correctly and questions from the committee are answered. Be creative. The Endowment Fund is a resource and a means to fulfill UCE’s Whole Mission. Questions: Contact Trustees Margaret Schatz, chair; Tom Hempfling; and Bill Hartgering.
