| Universal Community Treasure Chest |
Do you need money for your association, national or community-based organization? UHRI has an answer. In addition to collaborating with grassroots and student organizations to raise funds, UHRI’s professional fundraisers conduct annual fundraising and grant writing training.
Dogged by funding woes for many years, UHRI developed the Universal Community Treasure Chest (UCTC) as a means for grassroots fundraising that utilizes all the community’s networks, including workplaces, places of worship, schools, colleges, universities and companies that provide goods and services in a given geographic area. UCTC is a mutually beneficial fundraising project, proceeds of which benefit UHRI and participating community associations and non-profits organization. |
