Indigenous-Centered Mini Grants - Application Deadline
Passionate about the environment and/or sustainability? Looking for funds on how to support your research or projects?
The Indigenous-Centered Mini Grant are accepting applicants on a rolling basis until November 5th!
With the generous support of the Agnese Nelms Haury Program, the Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) has two Indigenous-Centered Mini Grant opportunities for the 2024 – 2025 school year. Each Mini Grant is $5,000 and 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 June 30, 2025 to complete their project.
Want inspiration for your project proposal? Please review the "Nurturing Plants" project from 2024 or "Indigeponics - Community Food Resiliency Project" from 2023 to read about what these student-led projects accomplished while aligning with the mission of Indigenous-Centered Mini Grants.
Need help on preparing your application? The CSF Committee members hold Virtual Office Hours dedicated for drop-ins about anything that is related to the mini grants application. Drop into the Virtual Office Hours on Zoom when you have questions on your proposal idea and whether or not it fits within the scope of the Fund, how to strengthen your proposal’s application or impact, and any other inquiries.
Ready to apply? Applications are accepted on a rolling basis in the 2024 Fall semester between September 2, 2024 - November 15, 2024. The first step is to email the CSF Coordinator at emilyhaworth@arizona.edu to let them know you're applying, and then you can apply through their online portal.
