Faculty Civic Engagement Grants
Project Pericles has two applications open for faculty to deepen connections between academic content, community-engaged learning, and civic participation during the next academic year 2025-26: a $1,000 Civic Engagement Mini-Grant, empowering students to engage with public issues in inclusive and collaborative ways in order to foster more positive and broader civic participation, as well as $3,000 grant to enhance courses with components that bridge academic learning with civic, democratic, and community engagement in meaningful ways.
Want to go deeper with a community partner?
The Action Fund supports off-campus community engagement projects proposed and led by students in direct collaboration with a local community-based organization. The projects all have action components, fulfilling unmet needs of Twin Cities’ communities, as well as learning/education components that promote reflection, meaning making, and sharing of lessons learned. Award amounts up to $2,500 are available per project.
