The Upper New York Conference United Women in Faith is dedicated to fostering positive change in communities by offering annual grants to non-profit and church-based organizations. These grants aim to uphold the teachings of Jesus Christ by directly addressing the needs of women, children, and youth within the Conference boundaries.
The grant program, running from July 1 to June 30 each year, provides vital support for projects that promote well-being, equality, and empowerment. Eligible initiatives must align with at least one of the following areas:
- Promoting Wholeness: Projects that nurture the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual well-being of women, children, and youth.
- Combating Racism: Programs working to eliminate institutional racism, protect cultural identities, and preserve languages.
- Advocacy: Efforts that champion the rights and needs of women, children, and youth.
- Leadership Development: Opportunities designed to cultivate leadership skills.
- Empowerment: Initiatives that encourage women to actively participate in decision-making at all levels of their lives.
The application process requires careful preparation, including a fully completed form and a detailed budget. Applications that do not meet these requirements will not be considered. While the grants offer significant support, they come with restrictions: funds cannot be used for salaries, honorariums, rent, or building improvements.
This program reflects the unwavering commitment of the Upper New York Conference United Women in Faith to build stronger, more equitable communities by investing in the lives of those most in need. Non-profits and church organizations within the Conference boundaries are encouraged to seize this opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
