The Community Partnership Funding Board (CPFB), is a student-run grant board that seeks to foster student leadership and social responsibility by encouraging students to take action against social inequities. CPFB assists students in developing grassroots community action projects and administers grants of up to $2,500 made possible by the Student Activities Fee through the Student Assembly.
We seek to ensure that every grant project we support furthers the five aspects of our Philosophy Statement: Social Responsibility, Student Management, Partnership, Education, and Evaluation.
Do you have an idea for a project that furthers these goals? If so, you may qualify for up to $2,500 in grant funding!
1
Our grant application can be found under the "Apply for a Grant" page. The deadline for submission for our Spring 2024 grant cycle is Wednesday, February 28th at 5:00 PM EST.
2
We conduct an in-person interview with every student who applies for a grant so that we understand all aspects of the proposed project.
3
Our board members will conduct an interview with the applicant's community partner, whether they are on or off campus.
4
If we approve a grant application, we sign a funding contract with the student grantee stipulating all requirements associated with receiving CPFB funding.
5
Every student grantee is assigned a liaison on the board. The grantees meet with their board liaison every week to give updates on the progress of the project.
6
After all projects are completed in the spring, all grantees and communities partners attend our Annual End-of-Year Grant Symposium to present on their project and build new connections.
