Connect to Community Grant
About the grant
The Connect to Community Grant (C2C) offers UBC students the opportunity to create and implement a meaningful project in partnership with a local not-for-profit community organization. Designed as an accessible introduction to the grants experience, the C2C grant strives to be a dynamic learning opportunity. It challenges students to learn from the onset of the application through to project completion, without the fear of failing. We encourage students and community partners to test new ideas. Applicants can request funds between $200 and $1500 for their proposed project which must be completed within approximately 4 months of receiving funds (April 2019 & August 2019 respectively).
Note: Only undergraduate and master’s degree students are eligible for the C2C Grant at this time.
What the grant can fund
Examples of how you can use the funding include:
-
Build on a project that you were involved in as part of a course-based, Trek, or Reading Week placement or with a community organization you are already connected to
-
Develop and host workshops in the community based on community interests and needs
-
Support an existing community directed initiative, such as a communications campaign, program for a particular community group, or an event
-

Funds can cover the cost of materials, printing costs, space rentals, snacks, and other relevant project needs.
