TCP receives UU grant

In early December, TCP received notification that we received a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program (UUFP). Our award was from the "Fund for a Just Society" which "makes grants to nonprofit organizations addressing issues of social and economic justice. Grants are given to projects that use community organizing to bring about systemic change." This is especially great news because it is unusual for a non-profit to receive grant funding before obtaining a permanent space and the receipt of this grant will help us secure other grants.

Get Involved!

There are a lot of ways you can get involved with The Center Project. You can help us staff our booth at a community event. It's really easy and there will be an "old-timer" TCP person with you. If you don't want to volunteer publicly there is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on. You can help make our mid-Missouri famous homemade dog and cat treats. We also need help with folding and cutting our brochures. Do you have experience writing grants? If so, we can use your help.

Check out our volunteer web page to see all our volunteer opportunities.

The Center Project is committed to creating a community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and ally (LGBTQQA) residents of mid-Missouri. Our current home is located in the Unitarian Universalist Church at 2615 Shepard Blvd., Columbia, MO. We plan to have a permanent home in downtown Columbia, MO in 2008.
