UltraCamp Foundation Grant

UltraCamp Foundation
Association/Society
United States
Unspecified amount

UltraCamp

We're camp people who love camp. We want everyone, from the director to the camper, to have the best experience possible.

Our Mission

We believe in the transformative power of camp, and our mission is to support the programs that make a significant difference in people's lives. Our clients are not problems to be solved, but are true partners in success.

UltraCamp Grants

Send A Kid To Camp

The UltraCamp Foundation is dedicated to making opportunities for young people, who would otherwise not be able, to experience camping by providing grants to qualifying camps within the United States. 

Impact The Community

Few tools exist that can so profoundly shape the future of children. Camping, when performed with dedication to youth and commitment to excellence in facilities and programs, provides positive encouragement and fosters a sense of community as well as an outlook of social and environmental responsibility; character traits vital to a healthy, caring society. 

Three-way financial agreement

It is the intention of the UltraCamp Foundation to share the joy, commitment, and responsibility of giving the camp experience to sponsored children. If selected to receive funds, you are entering into a three-way financial agreement between UCF, your camp, and the beneficiaries’ family. Each invests as follows:

  • UCF requires that you reduce your camp fees applied to the beneficiary by 33%.
  • UCF requires that the parent or primary caregiver pay an agreed percentage of the total cost for their child or children to attend camp. This percentage is determined on the local camp level and does not involve the UCF team.

  • If your camp is selected to receive funds, UCF will then promise a grant. After review of the Post Camp Report, grant money is issued in a lump sum. This grant money is to be used exclusively toward the cost of children ages 7 – 18 to attend camp and is applied to individual accounts at the discretion of the local camp staff.

United States

Methodist Foundation of Mississippi 

The Methodist Foundation of Mississippi was founded in 1967 to provide financial resources and expertise to Wesleyan churches and missions. Since then, we have served nearly 1,110 organizations and 3,500 accounts, while growing the collective investment portfolio to $180 million. This benchmark means more than financial success.

Thanks to this position, the Foundation is able to offer both short and long-term investment products for churches to maximize returns with greater freedom and lower fees (or no fees) than typical banks or investment firms.

Scholarships We Offer

The Foundation seeks to provide Mississippi Methodist/Wesleyan Heritage students a financial boost to further their educational goals. Our scholarship committee awards scholarships from generous donors and endowments. Eligible students must be Mississippi residents, active in a United Methodist/Wesleyan Heritage congregation or Wesley Foundation in Mississippi. Non-seminary graduate & undergraduate students are eligible for up to four(4) scholarship awards.

College Scholarship 

To be considered for a scholarship through the Methodist Foundation of Mississippi, applicants must meet at least one of the eligibility criteria listed below and submit all required documentation.

The median grant award in New York is $52,500. For nonprofits looking to apply for larger grants, 100+ grants surpass $25,000.

Nonprofits in New York have access to diverse funding sources, including corporate foundations, professional associations, and government-sponsored grants. Here’s a summary of key types of funders:

  • Private funders: Private foundations offer the majority of funding opportunities in New York. Currently, more than 118 foundation grants are available to support areas like military and veteran services, education, and social justice.
  • State and Local Governments: New York’s state and local governments provide funding for key initiatives, particularly in farming, animal welfare, and sustainable agriculture.
  • Federal government: Federal grants contribute significantly to land preservation in New York’s nonprofit sector by focusing on environmental education, climate change resilience, and water resource management.

Whether you go after government grants or foundation grants depends on your grant readiness. Keep in mind that government grants often have large awards but equally large compliance requirements.

New York nonprofits can apply for grants steadily over the course of the entire year; however, there are certain peak periods. Q3 is the best time to submit applications as 27.4% of grant deadlines fall during this time. Q1 and Q4 follow behind, accounting for 26.5% and 24.4% of grant deadlines, respectively. In contrast, Q2 is the slowest period, with only 21.7% of grants accepting applications. Keeping this data in mind could be crucial in securing a funding opportunity rather than missing out for the quarter.

Grant funding in New York has remained stagnant over the past several years. Based on IRS funding reports, total grant funding reached $28 billion in 2021 but remained $28 billion in 2022. However, future funding opportunities look optimistic.
