I REALLY wanted them to apply, but I am down for whichever decision the team
votes for.
Best,

Asunto: Re: Extended RFP Deadline
Dear all,
We were in the middle of crucial work in our organization and were not able
to fill up the form. We are in a place in which because of capacity we have
often times to make decisions of doing the work or building capacity. In
this case the work couldn't wait.
Would it be possible to turn in a differed proposal? Our organization does
immigration and education justice within the Latino community and it's led
by undocumented immigrants and DACA holders.
Kind Regards
Emilia Avalos

Hello,
The deadline for the First Universalist Holiday Giving Program
Application/RFP has been extended to August 15, 2017. You can fill out an
application/proposal here at: https://goo.gl/forms/omSfJ78IdynMiDji2.
Please consider applying for this opportunity to receive up to $60,000 to
fund your non-profit organization's programs that are committed to
furthering racial equity.
Should you have any questions about the application process, please feel
free to follow-up with any questions.
A quick reminder of what the First Universalist Holiday Giving Program is:
Every other year, First Universalist Church encourages the entire
congregation of First Universalist Church to re-imagine the winter holidays
and how we can best practice our faith during a time that is often filled
with over consumption and excess. We invite our members and friends to
reduce their holiday spending by 50% and to give the money they save to the
"Holiday Giving Project." Each year, we select a recipient of the funds
that aligns with our values. We prioritize organizations that have a clear
racial justice focus, and that offer meaningful ways for members of the
church to engage with the organization (we recognize this varies, based on
the organization.)
One of the ways we continue to respond to the challenging times we find
ourselves in is by living our values out loud. The Holiday Giving Program
is one of those ways, as we practice generosity, and deeper engagement with
and support of those working for justice in our community. We anticipate
the possibility of raising up to $60,000, based on past year's experience,
but it may be less.
Best Wishes,
Jacoby Daniels
