Special Project Guidelines

1. Projects awarded funds will reflect the religious and social values expressed in the UUA Principles and the JUC Mission Statement.
2. All proposals will originate from a sponsoring committee of JUC.
3. Proposals will be evaluated on their potential for “lasting value” to the church or community.
4. Special projects shall not include: operating expenses; day-to-day expenses; expenses ordinarily included in the annual budget; and expenses that have been or will be incurred on a regular and ongoing basis. The Trust shall not be used for expenditures for which there will be no lasting benefit.
5. Projects to be funded will be chosen annually on an individual basis. Besides proposals for projects needing immediate funding, consideration will be given to proposals for projects that need funding greater than what is currently available. In these cases funds could be set aside for combining with future allocations.
6. Project monitoring will be the responsibility of the committee awarded the funds. A written status report documenting progress and fund expenditures will be required by November 30th of the year that the project received funding. A final report will be required at project completion that will include comments about the accomplishment of objectives.
7. Examples of types of projects include but are not limited to:
   1. Education programs for congregation and/or community
   2. Community outreach/social action
   3. Wider mission of Unitarian-Universalism  (e.g., new church development)
   4. Capital Improvements (non-maintenance)
