CAROLINE VEATCH - PHILANTHROPIST 1870-1953

Caroline Veatch left a Unitarian legacy of greatness, a rare resource for the advancement of Unitarian Universalist faith in action: the Veatch Program of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Shelter Rock in Manhasset, NY. That Long Island congregation grants several million dollars every year not only to strengthen activities of the Unitarian Universalist Association, but also to foster worldwide aid by means of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, and to provide grants to both UU and non-UU organizations. They provide grants:
1. to strengthen UU institutions and community life.
2. to projects that increase UU involvement in social responsibility.
3. to strengthen UU or indigenous religions institutions worldwide.
4. to nonprofit organizations addressing issues of social and economic justice.
