Foundation Grant Applications are due on January 31, 2026.
The Eno River Fellowship Foundation is pleased to announce the 2026 annual grant application and proposal submission process. We encourage ERUUF’s staff, ministry teams, and members to submit proposals for Foundation grants. The 2026 grant awards will focus on bold initiatives or infrastructure enhancements that are in alignment with two broad areas:
- The ERUUF Board’s 2025-2026 Annual Vision of Ministry:
a. Building a sacred space of joy, respite, and renewal; b. Celebrating and sharing the gifts of our multigenerational and diverse covenantal community; c. Fostering solidarity with our neighbors through nurturing our collective commitment to hope and resilience. - ERUUF’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan:
a. Expand and deepen our commitment to diversity through implementation of ERUUF’s Racial Equity & Inclusion (REI) Theory of Change; b. Center relationships with and the needs of families, children, and youth in the life of the congregation; c. Engage deeply in social justice and earth justice personally, within our congregation, and the larger community; d. Create and implement a sustainable plan for finance, facilities, and communications that supports us in achieving our Mission and Vision; e. Strengthen, deepen and expand our relationships between ERUUF and the larger UU denomination.
If you have a project idea to support one of these areas of focus while also advancing a ministry team’s priorities, please complete and submit the Grant Proposal Application Form (
Word File, 
PDF File) to by January 31, 2026. Please note that grant applicants must discuss their proposed ideas with an ERUUF staff partner before writing their proposal.
