Application for Endowment Trust Grant. The Endowment Trust (ET) of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany (Albany UU) seeks to promote the congregation’s mission by providing grants from its earnings that support special Albany UU projects or mission-related expenses. Get more information and apply here.
Leaders
It takes a lot of people to operate and govern a congregation our size. Our members are the foundation of the Albany Unitarian Universalist congregation. Through the democratic process, members have adopted the congregation’s mission statement, vision, and congregational covenant. Members also called the Minister as our religious leader and head of staff and elected the Board of Trustees. In regular meetings that are open to the congregation, the Board determines strategic direction, establishes policy, and provides oversight of congregational programs and administration. To learn more about our governance, consult our Elected Leaders and Governance pages, and related documents in the File Cabinet.
