Guidelines Grants are made to Unitarian Universalist (UU) organizations in the U.S., Mexico and Canada that: grow and strengthen Unitarian Universalist institutions and community life; nurture and celebrate our liberal religious heritage; and encourage a generosity of spirit among UUs that is reflected in commitments of time, money and energy.
