How much money may I request?
Keep in mind the amount of funds available for allocation is limited (see below for 2008-09 grants
awarded). If your project is a large one, you may want to consider requesting only partial funding,
especially if you have other funding sources. If your project is small and you have no other funding
sources, then you may request full funding. Either way, be sure to identify in your budget just how
funds will be used.

- $ 300 (funded in full) City of Adams for historic picture collection

- $ 600 (funded in full) Oregon East Symphony and Chorale for Playing for Keeps scholarships
May I request funds for a multi-year project?
Only if UCCC funds are spent and used within the grant cycle (usually October -June). Keep in mind
you will need to submit a report by the end of June stating how the funds were used and evaluating the
success of your project in meeting UCCC goals.
Are there any projects or items unlikely or even prohibited from being approved?
Grant funds are allocated for those projects that best meet UCCC goals (see attached list). However,
there are certain items, such as consumable office supplies, that are not normally covered by grant
funds.
Do I need to verify my budget figures with actual quotes?
As much as possible, please identify the source of your figures whether they are estimates only, or if
you received an actual bid or quote from a company or individual.
I have other funding sources, will that hurt or help my chances?
That depends on how clearly you present your budget. You must identify exactly how and where
UCCC funds will be used in comparison to other funds. The key point is showing how UCCC funds are
vital to your project and will be spent wisely—which means directly linked to UCCC goals.
My project is scheduled for the summer months. May I request funds?
No, unfortunately not at this time.
I am a teacher. Do I need my principal or superintendent’s signature on the application form?
Yes, if your project stems from your work, such as field trips for your students. You must show your
principal’s support by including his/her signature on the application form.

If you have additional questions,
please contact Carla McLane, UCCC
Chairman (mclane@eoni.com or
(541) 922-4624), or any one of the
UCCC Commission members.
