Fund for a Just Society

Unitarian fund supports social change
The Fund for a Just Society, a program of the Unitarian Universalist Association, provides grants to nonprofit organizations that address issues of social and economic justice.
The Fund supports organizations that use community organizing to bring about systemic change leading to a more just society and that mobilize with those who have been disenfranchised and excluded from resources, power, and the right to self-determination. Consideration is given to projects that are less likely to receive conventional funding because of the innovative or challenging nature of the work or the economic and social status of the constituency.
The maximum grant amount is $15,000; however, most grants range between $6,000 and $8,000. Requests are reviewed two times per year and the next application deadline is September 15th. For detailed information on the application process, go here.
