UCA is in a cross road after almost three years since its conception. We have grown tremendously and getting recognized on local and national levels, but to help UCA become sustainable will require a tremendous amount of hard work not only on strategic programming, but also on systematic and diversified fundraising and development. Applying to Grants especially from mainstream foundations has always been on UCA’s agenda. Unfortunately due to very limited manpower, UCA has only been focusing on program development and execution. We need to put systematic fundraising and development as a priority.
