How to Reach Us

OCT 2025 UPDATE: An application will be live on this page before the end of October.

Application Instructions: 

The 2026 application process is open. We applaud the achievements of projects and organizations currently funded by UP and are eager to create future new partnerships.

1. 1. If your organization meets our eligibility requirements, complete the form below before our Grant Deadline of December 19, 2025.

   2. Submissions will be reviewed once the deadline closes. An on-line conversation between the UP Foundation and the requesting entity may then take place in early to mid January 2026.

   3. In February 2026, grantee candidates will be contacted with the final decision, at which time both a payment schedule and reporting schedule with UP will be determined.

NOTE: The primary focus of the UP Foundation is to assist nonprofit organizations in realizing and actualizing the maximum potential of young people of underserved communities in every way possible: general learning and basic skills, the arts, science, the environment, academic achievement, health, recreation, etc. The second goal of the UP Foundation is to unleash the potential of community leaders so they can be empowered to succeed at their maximum effectiveness. The leaders of these projects are as important as the projects themselves. Investing in leadership and nonprofit infrastructure is the key to change, no matter the enterprise, to better serve constituents, strengthen communities, and ultimately make the world a better place.
