Veatch Program
Our congregation is unique among Unitarian Universalist congregations in having its own fully-staffed grant making program. Drawing upon the generous bequest of Caroline Veatch, the UU Veatch Program at Shelter Rock supports organizations that put Unitarian Universalist principles into practice. The Veatch Program funds Unitarian Universalist and community organizations working on a variety of issues in different parts of the country. A professional staff works with the elected Board of Governors to fund organizations advancing public policies and organizing at the grassroots to address the causes of social problems. (See our Annual Report.)
Shelter Rock is a community deeply committed to positive social change.
