What if you felt you had an answer that could alleviate much of the chaos and turmoil in communities and nations? Would you “work your fingers to the bone” to educate and share what you understand? Would you try, and try again, to influence laws and policies, both in your own country and around the world? Or, would you just stay silent at home?
That’s been the question that United Families International has faced since our inception some forty-six years ago! Like us, we think you understand that many, if not most, of the societal ills and the challenges stem from the fact that the family, and foundational structures that support it, have been eroded away – in short, family breakdown. Protecting and promoting the natural family is UFI’s passion and our mission!
UFI is almost exclusively a volunteer organization, but we do have expenses and needs to keep the programs moving forward. On this Giving Tuesday, we come to you with a promise that we will always use your donations in the most effective, yet frugal, way possible. We ask for your trust and your financial support in our numerous and varied efforts.
We don’t want to just randomly take your time, but humbly ask for you to consider a donation, no matter how large or how small. We’ve provided, below, some specifics of UFI’s various programs and projects, with an eye toward letting you customize your donations, should you choose.
Here’s the pitch:
We at UFI need you! But more importantly, the world needs you!
The tide appears to be turning, our causes are getting more traction, but we are a long way from home, with plenty of work to do.
UFI remains convinced there is a way out of the chaos in our communities – and it starts with strong married, mother/father families and these families need the support of societal structures – including law and policy. Help us make that understanding a reality!
Make a donation, today!

Currently, we especially need your support to expand two impactful programs:
The Inter-versity Mentorship Forum
This program is transforming the lives of university students across Uganda by equipping them with the values, skills, and leadership training necessary to become ambassadors for strong families and ethical governance. However, the need far outweighs our current resources. With your help, we can:
- Expand the program to reach more campuses.
- Provide educational materials, mentorship opportunities, and leadership workshops.
- Empower thousands of young leaders to champion family values in their communities and beyond.
The Conference on the State of Women and Families (CSWFamily.org)
This annual conference brings together experts, policymakers, advocates and citizens to address critical issues affecting women and families worldwide during one of the largest commission meetings at the United Nations. It is a platform for discussing solutions to challenges such as:
- Strengthening families and parental rights amidst cultural and economic pressures.
- Protecting the rights of women and children.
- Promoting life-affirming policies globally.
- Preserving religious freedoms.
Your generosity enables us to organize these vital projects, amplify their message, and expand their reach.
Every dollar you give makes a direct impact!
- $50 produces materials for a mentorship session, or a conference event
- $150 assists with conference logistics to ensure our message reaches global advocates and policymakers to educate and promote policy and behavior that protects the well-being of children around the world.
- $250 supports on the ground training for a Ugandan campus ambassador or or supports the UFI team in taking the profamily, prolife, pro-religious freedom education and efforts directly to the policy debates and CSWF.
You can also make a difference by becoming a Conference Sponsor for either the Yearly Uganda Conference, or the UN Conference on the State of Women and Families. Your contribution will be noted on conference posters and acknowledged to attendees each day of the conference. Sponsorships greatly impact conference success!
- $1000 – Silver level sponsors – significantly contribute to the media expenses for the conference – ensuring sound, digital presentation support, WiFi and photography so these events can be attended virtually and recorded for continued impact.
- $2500 – Gold level sponsors – will fund an organization’s attendance at a special reception during CSWF, recognizing the tireless frontline efforts of global advocates and grassroots workers, and UN Delegates striving to protect family values, life, and religious freedom.
- $5000 – Platinum level sponsors – Obtaining a large conference room near the UN (which better facilitates attendance by individuals and Delegates) comes with a large price tag. Therefore, Platinum Sponsors significantly impact the conference’s success by securing a professional and accessible venue where advocates, leaders, and policymakers can gather to hear from experts addressing the vital issues affecting families, life, and religious freedom.
