UUCP Members and Guests,
Our Share the Plate (STP) ministry is one way we breathe life into our commitment to be agents of change in our community. In April 2022, we started splitting our weekly offering 50/50 with a different organization each month, because we feel this approach better reflects our values.
We are interested in hearing from you where you would like these donations to go to directly impact our local community. When nominating a charity, please consider the selection criteria outlined below.
Selection Criteria
- The recipient organization must be a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in the US, or have a fiscal sponsorship arrangement with an organization that has 501(c)(3) status.
- The mission, purpose, and practices of the recipient organization must be aligned with those of UUCP.
- Recipients must have some connection to UUCP through shared work, affinity, recommendation, or sponsorship by a UUCP member or other UUCP support.
- The donation must make a significant contribution to the organization’s programs, with the majority of funds going toward such programming. Preference will be given to organizations with smaller budgets.
- Recipients must have a budget that is mindful of the balance between program and administrative costs.
- Organizations with local programs that serve beneficiaries in the Valley will be given priority. However, we will also consider non-local programs with a strong connection to UUCP members.
- Preference will be given to new nominations. Recipients will generally receive a donation only once per year.
