ORGANIZATIONS

Headquartered at 533 W. Diversey Parkway in Chicago, Illinois, Urantia Foundation is the original custodial organization for The Urantia Book. Its primary mandate is to preserve the text inviolate and to disseminate the teachings of the book throughout the world.

The Foundation oversees the translation program, with 25+ published translations in languages including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and many more. It also operates the Urantia Book Internet School (UBIS), offering free courses in multiple languages.

Originally chartered as the Urantia Brotherhood in 1955, the organization separated from Urantia Foundation in 1989 and reorganized as the Fifth Epochal Fellowship, later renamed the Urantia Book Fellowship. It is the largest reader-service organization in the Urantia community.

The Fellowship focuses on dissemination, reader services, and community building. It operates the Pipeline of Light program (distributing books to underserved regions), hosts triennial International Conferences, publishes the Mighty Messenger and Fellowship Herald, and maintains an extensive network of study groups and local societies.

Urantia Association International was formed in the wake of the 1989 split as a reader organization affiliated with Urantia Foundation. It operates as a global network of national and local associations, with a particular focus on international readership.

UAI hosts international conferences, supports study groups worldwide, and provides resources for readers in dozens of countries. It functions as a membership-based service organization fostering study and dissemination at the local, national, and international levels.
