Questions?
What is the purpose of a Mini Grant?
Mini Grants fund projects that support student learning, have a positive impact on CCS, and cannot be financially supported by the colleges. Projects must impact at least 20 students to be eligible.
How much is a Mini Grant award?
Mini Grants are generally between $250 and $2,500 (although the Mini Grants Committee may elect to award a higher or lower amount at any time).
When is the Mini Grants Award cycle?
Mini Grants are due the last day of fall quarter, with the selection process taking place in December/January. Funds are available starting in January and must be used by June 30.
Are Mini Grants awarded for faculty salaries?
No grant monies are available for staff and faculty salaries, except stipends or replacement costs for a one-time project or short-term funding. If requesting a stipend, please contact the Budget and Finance office to determine the amount needed to be included in the proposed budget to pay for benefits for your individual employee classification. The Foundation is not responsible for any expenses that exceed the amount approved.
