United Thank Offering 2008 application process underway
Episcopal News Service. October 21, 2007 [102107-01]
The United Thank Offering (UTO) Committee is currently accepting grant applications for 2008 from dioceses of the Episcopal Church who elect to submit one of their two invited grants on behalf of and implemented within their official companion diocese.
The dioceses of the Episcopal Church will be responsible for the implementation and accounting of the grants, and all UTO grant criteria apply. In addition, these companion diocese applications require a letter from the bishop of the overseas companion diocese in support of the project. At this time these applications are limited to Companion Diocese Relationships formally recognized by Executive Council.
Letters of invitation and grant applications to all dioceses of the Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion were mailed on October 1. The grant application deadline is January 31, 2008. The application form is available here but cannot be submitted electronically. All grant applications must go through the diocesan selection process, and be signed by the diocesan bishop. Grants from other Anglican Provinces require provincial endorsement.
