2023 UTO Grant Applications

United Thank Offering was founded to support innovative mission and ministry that the Church budget has not yet expanded to fund. The 2023 United Thank Offering grant application materials are now available.

Over the next three years, The United Thank Offering, in the spirit of Matthew 25:36, will focus on areas of ministry that serve those who society has left out and left behind. Therefore, the UTO grant focus for 2023 will be on innovative mission and ministry projects addressing all aspects of the worldwide incarceration crisis, specifically preventative programs and intervention, prisoner support outreach, prison reform work, or post-prison re-entry.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your parish to begin a new ministry or expand a ministry in your community.

If you need assistance or have questions about the application, please contact the Rev. Canon Heather Melton, staff officer for the United Thank Offering.
