The Long Island Unitarian Universalist Fund in the Long Island Community Foundation is an advised field-of-interest fund committed to funding social change through grassroots efforts. At its November meeting, the LIUU advisory board suggested $94,000 in grants to be awarded to these organizations and projects:

--Alliance for Quality Education: renewed funding to increase state education funding overall, and particularly for low performance Long Island school districts

--Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN): emergency support to help restart a normal funding stream

--Listening Project: to research and describe the issues and tensions resulting from the influx of Latin American immigrants into the Town of East Hampton

--Long Island Jobs with Justice: renewed support for a Long Island chapter of a national coalition of labor, community, student, and faith-based organizations

--SEPA Mujer: to support advocacy work and a move to a new office

--Unkechaug Indian Nation of Poospatuck Indians: to underwrite the costs of a needs/assets assessment for members of the Unkechaug Nation living on the Poospatuck Reservation in Mastic.
