The First Universalist Foundation Board is beginning its 2020 granting season and wants to hear from congregants about which organizations would be good candidates for a grant.

The Foundation Board is particularly interested in organizations that address human rights at risk, racial justice and climate justice. The Foundation seeks organizations whose leadership includes people of color, women and other underrepresented groups. Historically, most grants have ranged from $5,000 to $20,000.

Members of First Universalist are invited to consider which organization(s) would be good candidates for a Foundation grant, and nominate them using this form.

Nominations will be accepted until January 28. This is a great opportunity to support groups working on social justice issues. Last year the Board received 24 nominations from congregants and awarded $100,000 in grants to 11 great organizations.
