United Thank Offering Grants

The 2025 United Thank Offering grant application materials are now available. This is the final year that The United Thank Offering, in the spirit of Matthew 25:36, will focus on areas of ministry that serve those whom society has left out and left behind. The UTO grant focus for 2025 will be on water projects in the spirit of Jesus saying, “I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.”

The application period for UTO grants is currently closed. Information and application materials for 2026 grants will be available beginning in March 2025.
