In support of NTUUC’s mission to use our resources to strengthen UU congregations in North Texas, our grants should be focused on:1. Grants to aid the search for and hiring of ministers and staff, including part time or visiting ministers or other speakers or preachers. This includes joint applications by two or more congregations who want to hire a shared minister. Minister/speaker grants may be given to help with the costs of both search and salary. The grant can be for up to three years but will phase out during that period. The Endowment Committee will consider whether the applicant would be able to cover the costs as the grant ends.2. Grants to create new education or faith programs or expand existing ones that support the growth and good management practices of the congregation.3. Grants for infrastructure and facilities additions. These grants should focus on one-time projects that would promote stability and growth and not be items that are or should be part of the regular budget process.
