Changes to the 2025 Grant Submission Process:

New Double Deadlines for Grants 

 By the Rev. Rowan Larson, UTO Board Vice President for Grant

For several years now, UTO has had a “double deadline” for the Anglican Communion. That is, their deadline for submission has been a few weeks before the final deadline. This allows us to give staff attention to each Anglican Communion grant and help each application be the best it can be. We have long offered this level of support for all our applicants. We see part of our mission as helping our applicants learn how to write a really good grant and be able to take those skills and apply them to other grant opportunities as well. 

Based on the success of this method with the Anglican Communion, the hope of the Board is that having the two deadlines will help dioceses select the grant they wish to put forward sooner and allow staff adequate time to help make sure the application is complete, the budget is correct, and give recommendations on whether the grant, as written, is in criteria for any given year. 

By having only two dates, every application will now be able to receive the same level of assistance, with time to make sure that applications are ready for review by the Grants Committee for criteria and then the full board for review. 

Granting: 2025 UTO Grant Process                               

This year, the grant committee has created a training to help UTO leaders or diocesan staff have a better understanding of what to look for when helping applicants.
