by Bonnie Gilbert and Meghan Horn, Co-Chairs, Endowment Committee

The Endowment Committee has begun its annual grant application process. Due to gains in our investments, the Committee is able to offer Endowment Grants which are used to benefit UUCWC and support at least one of the 8 UU Principles. The projects must begin during the 2021-2022 church year and be items that would not be included in the regular church budget.

Examples of one-time projects that could be considered for funding include, but are not limited to, such activities as sending a committee member to a relevant training seminar, purchasing special equipment (not replacement), or hiring a speaker. The grant application can be found here and is due by 12 noon on Sunday March 14. Please send it electronically to endowment@uucwc.org.

Funds are limited and the Endowment Committee will not be able to fund everyone’s request. In an effort to fund more than one project, the Committee may award partial grants to multiple projects. The Committee expects to notify applicants by the end of March. Please direct any questions to endowment@uucwc.org.
