Nurturing Plants: Fall 2023 Mini Grant
With the generous support of the Agnese Nelms Haury Program, the CSF is offering Indigenous-Centered Mini Grant opportunities for the 2026 – 2027 school year. Applicants can apply for either a $5,000 Mini Grant, or a $10,000 Mini Grant. Funding is reserved for funding Indigenous-focused projects that are oriented toward environmental and/or social sustainability.
The opportunity is broad and can support a project related to art, science, community engagement, the built environment, and so much more. Preference will be given to projects that are student-led. Proposals must be led by an Indigenous campus community member or, preferably, that they are led by someone who is part of an Indigenous-centered group, center, club, or organization on campus. The proposals should support an Indigenous-centered program, project, group, club, center, or initiative on campus.
This opportunity is open until filled and applicants have until mid-May to complete their project.
