"Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance."

"[A]s we deepen and broaden the range of what we define as le***an existence…we begin to discover the erotic in female terms: as that which is unconfined to any single part of the body or solely to the body itself; as an energy not only diffuse but, as Audre Lorde has described it, omnipresent in 'the sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic,' and in the sharing of work…"
—Adrienne Rich, in her 1980 essay, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Le***an Existence"

These grants, ranging from $100 to $1,000, are designed to foster local and regional community building, faith formation, and leadership development within our BIPOC Unitarian Universalist communities.

Do you have a vision for a BIPOC-specific gathering, workshop, or special event that could benefit from additional support?

DRUUMM is here to help underwrite necessary expenses such as refreshments and materials. Our goal is to support and resource local and regional organizing, bringing your vision to life.

DRUUMM Organizing Small Grant Criteria for Event or Project:
• Be or have a BIPOC-specific program.
• Align with DRUUMM Values.
• Help advance DRUUMM's Strategic Direction.
• Must be scheduled at least 30 days in advance.
• Event or project must be co-led by a DRUUMM Member.

Let’s continue to build and strengthen our community together!

"Fitting in is becoming who you think you need to be in order to be accepted. Belonging is being your authentic self and knowing that no matter what happens, you belong to you"
