Zimmerman Trust Grant

Oregon-Idaho United Women in Faith

Isobel F. Zimmerman Grant Program

Information Sheet

The Oregon-Idaho Conference of United Women in Faith Charter for Racial
Justice Committee is pleased to announce that grants from the Isobel F. Zimmerman Trust Fund are now available. Available money for 2023 will be about $4,000 (amount varies yearly), and will be awarded for programs directed toward leadership development of Native Americans or African Americans or in support of a Women's Division (now United Women in Faith) Foreign Mission Project.

Preference for funding will be given to projects within the Oregon-Idaho United
Methodist Annual Conference, followed by other related organizations within the
same geographic area. Funds granted by the United Women in Faith Charter for Racial Justice
Committee do not necessarily obligate the committee to ongoing funding of any
project or activity.

Application must be made through a brief proposal describing the work or project
anticipated and the expected results. There shall be a clearly demonstrated need.
The grant monies must be utilized within twelve months, with quarterly financial
progress reports filed with the United Women in Faith Charter for Racial Justice
Committee. A financial budget report must be included in the proposal and the
grant proposal must be signed by a contact person with authority to request funds.
A final report on the project must be submitted to the Charter for Racial Justice
Committee within 3 months of project completion. Evaluation for continued
funding will be based on the quarterly financial reports.

These grants may be made either to support ongoing programming or as "seed
money" for new projects meeting needs not previously addressed. Special consideration will be given to funding new programs. Awards will be made at the discretion of the Oregon-Idaho UWF Charter for Racial Justice Committee. The grant will be awarded in two equal payments, the second payment is predicated upon satisfactory progress reports.
