Outreach Grants

Do you want to make a difference in the community? An Outreach Grant can help!

The goal of Outreach Grants is to connect students with service opportunities and assist them in enriching the meaning of the experience through reflection.

 
Funding for service includes:

• Transportation
• Supplies (paint, trash bags, kids' books, etc.)
• Copying and publicity
• Snacks for volunteers during the service experience

Who may apply

Outreach Grants of $300 annually are available to:

• Residence halls
• Sororities and fraternities
• Student clubs and organizations
• Any group of six (6) or more students

Outreach Grant Guidelines

• Service must be direct service - not fundraising or donations.  (Staffing a fundraising event for an organization would, however, be considered direct service.)
• The proposal may be for a new project or one for an organization with which the group has an ongoing relationship.
• Volunteer groups must be six (6) or more students.
• The application is due two (2) weeks before service date.
• Pre-service and post-service reflection activities are required.
  • Pre-service reflection should include information about site and clients and reflection activities on related social issues.
  • Post-service reflection should occur immediately after service to assist participants in understanding how and why their work is significant
  • A draft of reflection activities should be submitted with the application. For help with reflection see below, link here, or email jbragg for more information.
  • A post-service evaluation is due to Jeani Bragg within one (1) week after the event.
• Advisors, area coordinators or chapter/club presidents must sign the application before submission.
• NOTE: Clubs and Greek Organizations may not submit applications for projects that advocate for their organizations, its mission or to solicit members.

How do I apply?

Contact Jeani Bragg in the Career Center (UC3) at least two (2) weeks before the service project.  (The application form also includes procedural information, a check list and the Post-Service Evaluation form.
