- Funding for programs/projects that provide assistance to those who have some emergency need(s) growing out of a crisis situation.
- Programming should be focused on restoring the person/family to an acceptable level of functioning by assisting with food, shelter, clothing, personal items, health needs, or transportation. Funding is not limited to those items listed; they are provided as a guide.
- They recognize the importance of a stable foundation for individuals and families. The grants in this area focus on ensuring access to essential resources such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
- By supporting organizations that provide these critical services, they’re not just meeting immediate needs – they’re contributing to the long-term stability and health of the communities, paving the way for growth and self-sufficiency.
- Education: $5,000-$10,000 Grant Awards
- Funding for programs/projects should emphasize early childhood development programs, middle and high school programs and college preparation/academic mentor programs.
- Programs should reflect a strong commitment to education and access for low income and under-served populations. Educational programs should enrich participants’ lives by including activities that lead to a change in knowledge, skill or level of appreciation rather than one-time events such as attending a show or visiting a cultural institution.
- Arts Education programming should provide participants with the expertise that furthers their training and enhances their education and self-development.
- Education is the cornerstone of personal and community development. UBF’s educational grants aim to illuminate paths of knowledge and opportunity for underserved communities. By investing in literacy programs, scholarship funds, and educational initiatives, they empower individuals with the tools to rewrite their futures.
- Workforce Development: $5,000-$10,000 Grant Awards
- Funding for programs/projects that assist individuals to return or enter the workforce.
- Special emphasis is given to programs that serve those who have little or no connection to the job market, including those who have been previously incarcerated. Job readiness training, record expungement, transportation, and skill-specific training/placement, including soft skill development, are among the services that will be considered for support.
- In today’s ever-evolving job market, workforce development is key to ensuring economic empowerment and self-sufficiency. UBF’s grants in this area support programs and initiatives that provide job training, career development, and entrepreneurship opportunities. By aligning with organizations that offer these vital services, they help individuals gain the skills and knowledge necessary to secure meaningful employment and create sustainable livelihoods.
- Social Justice: $5,000-$10,000 Grant Awards
- Funding for organizations and programs dedicated to dismantling systemic barriers and advocating for policy reforms that promote equality, dignity, and justice for all.
- Social Justice programs should impact disparities in employment, environment/climate, healthcare, food, housing, and re-entry/incarceration created by systemic racism as these issues affect Black and poor communities disproportionately. Proposal should provide solutions.
- UBF is committed to not only addressing the symptoms of social injustice but also to challenging its root causes. By fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and action, they aim to create an inclusive society where every individual can thrive without the constraints of bias and oppression.
