WHY SUPPORT UCP?

When you choose to support UCP, you are making an investment in the lives of more than 1,900 Central Pennsylvania residents and their families. You are supporting UCP services that support a life without limits.

Your contribution may help a child get the early intervention therapy they need to continue to grow and develop alongside their peers. It may help an adult move into their first home. It may make it possible for a child with a disability and his or her family to participate in a meaningful social activity as a family unit for an evening.

One thing is certain – your donation will make a difference in the lives of the men, women and children in Central PA.

Your Gifts at Work

In Fiscal Year 2023, UCP funded 32 program grants totaling $55,800. Items funded include:

Living room, dining room, and/or outdoor furniture replacement for various program locations
Assistive technology to facilitate independent living, improve safety, and provide interactive opportunities
Program supplies to facilitate for more meaningful community participation

Grant Allocation Panel

The Grant Allocation Panel exists to review and evaluate funding requests made by UCP services to ensure that funding resources are appropriately utlilized.

ABOUT THE PANEL

The individuals who have invested in UCP have demonstrated their commitment to our future. Therefore, to provide a vehicle for our investors to decide how the money is disbursed from UCP to the UCP Programs, in 2011, we created the Grant Allocation Panel.

The Panel solicits requests on a quarterly basis from UCP staff to support unfunded and unmet program and other agency needs.
