The Unitarian Universalist Association’s Fund for a Just Society provides grants to non-Unitarian Universalist groups in the U.S. and Canada that have an active community organizing campaign that focuses on a specific systemic change for justice.
Grants support organizations that use community organizing to bring about systemic change leading to a more just society; mobilize those who have been disenfranchised and excluded from resources, power, and the right to self-determination; and have an active, focused campaign to create systemic change. Priority is given to active, specific campaigns to create change in the economic, social, and political structures that affect lives.
Projects are welcomed that are less likely to receive conventional funding because of the innovative or challenging nature of the work, the economic and social status of the constituency, or the geographic location of the work. Applicant organizations must have an annual operating budget under $500,000.
