UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for each blessing using a UTO Blue Box. UTO is&nbsp;entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute the 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the&nbsp;Anglican Communion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how to participate in the United Thank Offering&nbsp;or to order materials to start the program in your congregation, please use the links below or send us an email.&nbsp;We are happy to help you get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-default is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">    <div\n      class=\"wp-block-episcopal-callout default\"\n      style=\"color: #333333;justify-content: center;\"\n    >\n      <div\n        class=\"callout-content\"\n        style=\"justify-content: center;\"\n      >\n                \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-2024-uto-grant-awards\" style=\"line-height:1\">2024 UTO Grant Awards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 UTO grant awards have been announced.
