The grant can fund projects that serve communities based off campus in collaboration with a community partner. Off-campus activities include workshops, community meetings, initiatives, community events, forums, or education, health, environmental, and cultural-based projects.
Eligible community partners include nonprofits, public sector organizations, registered charities, societies, cooperatives, First Nations Communities, schools, and municipal, federal, or provincial government offices.
Below are examples of how you can use the funding:
- Continuing a project that you were involved in as part of a course-based or volunteer placement, or with a community organization you are already connected to
- Developing and hosting workshops based on the community’s interests and needs
- Supporting an existing community-directed initiative, such as a communications campaign, program, or an event for a particular community group
Funds can cover the cost of materials, travel, printing costs, space rentals, catering or meals, and other relevant project needs.
