The UCP Community Resource Funds are comprised of individual donor-named funds and foundations that have been formed to honor and/or memorialize a loved one or special person.

The combined proceeds from the investment of the principle of all individual funds are made available through UCP's Community Social Services Department. The income generated is used to help individuals and families living with a disability cope with an unexpected emergency, acquire needed assistive technology and adaptive equipment, or help people live more independently.

The Community Social Services Department will first research the availability of other resources such as religious, fraternal, and governmental support systems before utilizing the UCP Community Resource Funds.

Assistance may be in the form of a grant or loan depending upon the circumstances. The usual amount awarded from the UCP Community Resource Funds is $800. Individual requests beyond the $800 limit may be made possible given notification of special circumstances. The following funds and foundations comprise the UCP Community Resource Funds:
