Grants

No personal loans or advances for employees are allowed.  When an employee finds themselves in an emergency financial situation, they should approach their supervisor about the possibility of a one-time financial hardship grant.  These will be granted no more than once every five years of an employee’s tenure, and is distributed at the discretion of the Senior Minister, subject to budgetary capacity.  This money is considered income and is subject to payroll taxes.  Employees facing hardship can also apply for assistance through the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Living Tradition Fund.  Contact the DFO for more information.
