By Joyce Landers, Vice President of the United Thank Offering Board

The UTO Board is offering a series of webinars to assist anyone associated with submitting an application for the 2023 granting cycle. This includes not only people involved in writing an application but also diocesan staff members, UTO coordinators, and anyone who serves on a grant selection committee. 

Nov. 15 webinars:
Noon Eastern: Register in advance for this meeting
7 p.m. EST: Register in advance for this meeting
Both will center on the application forms and budget. 

The Jan. 10 webinars will focus on the timeline page and what constitutes a complete application. There will be an open webinar on Feb. 14 at noon EST for last-minute questions or issues. Attendees are required to register online using the helpful hints page. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email and a reminder email containing the link to attend the Zoom meeting. These webinars are an opportunity to learn about the grant application process and to ask questions. We are dedicated to limiting these webinars to one hour, so please limit your questions to the webinar focus. Several people usually remain online after the one-hour allotment to address more timely concerns that you may have for us. 

We want to assure you that we are here to help you submit the best possible application. Applicants who request guidance are typically more successful than those who do not attend our webinars. Please pass this information on to anyone in your diocese who is considering applying. We look forward to seeing you all online!
