| Question: |
Our student group would like to host a big campus/community-wide event. The total event budget is approximately $5,000 - can we apply for a Project/Activity Grant to cover the cost of the entire event? |
|
Answer: Most events of this nature can be broken down into segments. When applying for a Project/Activity Grant (or any grant), it is important to show that you have sought other sources of funding for your event. In addition, keep in mind when applying for a grant that the two funding options have different funding limits. The funding limit for grants from Campus/Project Impact Fund is typically $2,000. Grant requests for the New Initiatives Fund may not exceed $10,000. See criteria.
