The Help Unity Grow Grant: Empowering Ministries for Impact

  • Ministry Assistance:
     
    • Emergency Support: Providing immediate relief during unforeseen crises such as natural disasters or health emergencies that significantly impact ministry operations.
       
    • Capital Assistance: Offering funding for essential capital improvements and repairs unrelated to unforeseen crisis.
       
    • Minister Relocation: Assisting with the financial aspects of relocating ministers to serve communities in need.
       
  • Strategic Growth Initiatives: Fueling expansion in key areas such as:
     
    • Youth and Family Ministry: Strengthening programs that nurture the spiritual development of young people and families.
       
    • Expansion Ministries: Supporting the establishment of new Unity ministries, and growth in existing Unity ministries.
       
    • International Ministries: Facilitating the spread of Unity principles and teachings globally.

Grant awards are granted at the discretion of the UWM Leadership, following a thorough evaluation process. The Leadership prioritizes applications that demonstrate:

  • Community Value: The proposed project's potential to positively impact the community served.
     
  • Alignment with Unity Principles and Mission: The project's adherence to the core spiritual values and principles of the Unity movement.
     
  • Implementation and Self-Sufficiency Plan: A comprehensive and well-structured plan outlining how the grant funds will be used and how the ministry will achieve long-term sustainability.

The Help Unity Grow Grant is more than just financial aid; it's an investment in the future of Unity, enabling ministries to thrive and expand their reach, bringing spiritual growth and positive change to communities worldwide.
