Thank you for your interest in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Fork’s (UUCSF) High Impact Community Outreach (HICO) program. Each grant cycle is unique as we select different areas of focus highlighting specific needs in our community. We ask that all applicants ensure that their projects align with at least one of those needs. This is the fifth year of the HICO program. Our focus tries to address the changing needs of our East End community. This year we are shifting from concentrating on the basics to addressing unmet demands of several constituencies. We are cognizant of the pressure on social services by a growing population and recognize that some individuals/groups are being left behind.
