How to Reach Us

Application Instructions: 

The 2025 application process is closed for 2025. 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 20, 2024.

   2. Submissions will be reviewed once the deadline closes. An on-line conversation between the UP Foundation and the requesting entity will then take place in early to mid in January 2025.

   3. In February 2025, 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.
