Grant Guidelines
The Union Home Foundation limits grants to our four key funding areas and to organizations defined as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. For grants from the corporation to sponsor special events, please apply under our sponsorship pages here. Typically, grants are for one year and range from $1,000-$10,000 (higher contributions may be granted if the program is an exceptional fit with the corporate business or giving strategies).
Note: the Union Home Foundation does not provide grant support to individuals or individual fundraising efforts, political campaigns/parties, religious organizations, groups that discriminate on the basis of age, religion, color, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin, disease related causes (special exception may be made if the event advances our corporate purpose) and individual sports teams, clubs, activities.
