Community Conn ection Grants

It aims to foster activities that promote a well-informed\, nuanced under standing of divisive legal and political issues\; social events that build trust among members of groups who often find themselves in opposition\; and experiences that help community members develop skills and methods for con structively engaging with one another on difficult topics.
The fall deadline for applyin g for a Community Connection Grant is October 30\, 2025. Applications f or the spring will be due in mid-February. In either case\, funded initiati ves must be completed within the 2025-2026 academic year.
