United Charitable Programs (UCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to empower people to help others by sponsoring targeted charitable programs that effect positive change through charitable, educational, scientific, or religious actions worldwide. Our programs vary in size, budget and scope, but all share the desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
UCP provides fiscal sponsorship as a cost-effective way for charitable programs of any size and scope to be efficiently and effectively managed. UCP relieves the administrative burdens which can inhibit doing good works. We provide strict oversight of our programs to ensure compliance with 501(c)(3) nonprofit regulations. We strive to uphold the highest standards in charitable program management so that our programs can focus on what they do best – helping those in need, whether in their own community, across the nation or on the other side of the globe.
Anyone can establish a Fiscally Sponsored Program, or a Donor-Advised Fund at UCP. The charitable programs that we accept and sponsor at UCP will be able to have tax-exempt status under our auspices, as long as these programs remain in good-standing with us at UCP. We strive to share our knowledge and expertise with our programs to help them grow and succeed. UCP performs the various administrative tasks for these programs so that they will eventually make an impact and create a progressive, positive social change in our world.
Those people who begin a Program at UCP are called Program Managers. The successful Program Managers are social entrepreneurs who use the opportunity to partner with UCP in order to grow their charitable programs to potentially self-sustainable levels. You can view all of our sponsored programs and their mission statements by using the Search for Programs tool here.
By administratively supporting these individual programs in many different charitable areas at very nominal costs, UCP is able to affect constructive social change at a grassroots level, on a project by project basis.
