Dear Friends

Urantia Foundation established the Mustard Seed Grants Program (MSGP) to provide financial assistance to eligible projects which support the Foundation’s trust and mission to seed The Urantia Book and its teachings globally. These funds will support projects that further education and outreach in tangible and measurable ways.

Proposals for projects both small and large are encouraged.

Do you have an idea for an educational program that will bring the fifth epochal revelation to untapped audiences? Have you thought of an innovative project that addresses some significant outreach challenges? If so, you may be eligible for a Mustard Seed Grant!
