First Congregational UCC-Madison Seeds of Hope Social Justice Grants are available to organizations in Dane County to help provide basic needs, promote equality for marginalized communities, address disparities in health care, advance equity in education, and deliver environmental justice.

First Congrational’s announcement notes that grants to organizations led by members of traditionally marginalized communities and groups which do not have access to other grant-giving programs are encouraged to apply, and collaborative projects that bridge racial, economic, or other social divides will be given priority. The deadline to apply is January 30.
