Endowment Fund Committee Now Accepting Grant Applications for 2026

The Endowment Fund of UUCSV has been in existence since the 1990s, built with many contributions of various sizes.  Each year the Endowment Fund Committee, depending on market conditions, withdraws a certain amount of money to fund activities that are not part of the annual UUCSV church Operating Budget (the church Operating Budget funds the day-to-day expenses of the church) and do not qualify as a Capital Expense (i.e., adding to the church building).  

The Endowment Fund Committee has $26, 687 available for Calendar Year 2026 and is accepting grant applications through March 31, 2026, for projects to begin July 1, 2026 and to be completed by December 31, 2026. 

Congregational committees and/or members may submit a grant application for a project that reflects the religious and social values of the UUA. Projects could involve education, community outreach, or building improvements not related to capital expenses or to fund a new initiative.  Full details and the application form are available in the Call for Applications for Endowment Fund Grants for 2026.

For more information, you may contact any member of the Endowment Fund Committee: Suzanne Lareau, Chair; Alice Irvan, Treasurer; Leah Robinson; Gary Fillmore; Mark Lore.
