We want to remind everyone of our upcoming deadlines for the 2023 grant cycle. We strongly encourage all applicants to submit as early as possible. We have established deadlines regarding how much assistance you may receive. 

• Friday, March 3: Last day you may receive a review of your budget for out of criteria items. 
• Wednesday, March 8: Last day applications will be reviewed for completeness. 
• Thursday, March 9 &  Friday, March10: All applications will be processed as received. We strongly recommend that you doublecheck what you submitted at this point to ensure it is complete.

Please share these important dates with anyone who is applying, as well as your diocesan staff. 

We ask for your patience as we read and evaluate the applications. Once we make our decisions, we send them to Executive Council to approve during its June meeting. Letters will be sent out as soon as we receive that approval. 

Thank you for your support of UTO. We hope that you will join us in promoting the important practice of gratitude. Remember that 100% of all contributions to the Ingathering go toward funding life-changing ministries both in the U.S. and around the world.
