United Fire Group Foundation

UFG Foundation Grants

Who can apply: Applicants must be established and incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities with their own IRS tax-exempt status; fiscal sponsorships are not accepted. Funding is prioritized for nonprofits located in or near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and may also consider nonprofits in or near UFG branch communities (Phoenix, Rocklin, Westminster, Ewing, Webster) as funds allow. The Foundation does not fund religious organizations, political efforts, or school-system clubs/entities such as boosters or PTAs. Organizations that have applied must wait 12 months before reapplying. Organizations cannot receive both a UFG Foundation grant and UFG sponsorship dollars in the same year.

Deadline: Three grant cycles each year; submission deadlines are April 30, August 31, and December 31. Applications are due by the close of each cycle.
