United Thank Offering

The United Thank Offering (UTO) program, established by the women of the Episcopal Church in 1889, invites Episcopalians to make financial donations in a spirit of gratitude and uses these donations to fund grants for new ministries around the church.

Annual Grants

Find information about the kinds of projects that can be funded here.  Application information is available here.

Each diocese may only submit one grant application, so all applications must be submitted to the Rev. Margaret Lias (as below) no later than 5 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2024.  A diocesan committee will then review the applications and make a recommendation to the bishop before the churchwide UTO deadline of Jan. 10, 2025.

Questions may be directed to the Rev. Margaret Lias, Coordinator for Governance and Grants, at mlias@diomass.org.
