Partnership Model


Throughout the United States and around the world, UUSC develops partnerships with organized, effective, and transparently run grassroots organizations of people who courageously confront and challenge oppression and inequality.

Reciprocity lies at the heart of UUSC’s partnership model. While we provide assistance to our partners, their experience and expertise, in turn, enrich UUSC, enhancing our ability to advocate for goals we share in common.

"What I like most about UUSC, first of all, is the teamwork approach. . . . this sense of communication and involvement — real involvement — from the team here at UUSC with the people working on the ground is what makes it so special and so influential as well.”

—Dalia Ziada, executive director of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development in Cairo, Egypt

We help our grassroots partners grow by providing small grants and technical support. Through ongoing dialogue and field visits, UUSC fosters an exchange of information that flows along multiple paths. Among partner organizations, this exchange can transform movement-building and campaigning, as groups working on similar issues realize their common aims and join together in common cause. Within UUSC and for our members and supporters, this exchange deepens our understanding of the challenges faced by our partners, equipping us to advocate more effectively in venues partner groups cannot readily access.

UUSC is dedicated to forging strategic alliances with and among our partners, and to sharing the learning that is generated by efforts to achieve social change.

Presented here is a list of UUSC’s current partners.
