1000 is available for a community service project!

Do you have an idea for a community service project in the Eugene/Springfield community but don’t know where to get funding? Apply for the Service Learning Program’s Community Partner Grant! This is made possible by the Kilkenny Service and Leadership Fund. The grant seeks to empower community organizations and students by helping them initiate community based service projects. Only a Eugene/Springfield organization that has a connection with UO students may apply. Projects can be anything from helping build a community garden, to bringing the arts to disadvantaged youth, or creating a networking event supporting HIV/AIDS information and outreach.

For proposal guidelines and an application form, please visit http://serve.uoregon.edu/programs/community_partner_grant. Applications are due by March 11th at 5pm, and can be turned into the Service Learning Program’s office or emailed to serve.uoregon.edu.
A grant-writing workshops specific to this grant will be offered in the Holden Leadership Center on February 24th at 5pm. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend.

For consultation in preparing this application, developing your project, or for more information, contact Lexi Stickel, Graduate Teaching Fellow, at the Holden Leadership Center at hlcgraduoregon.edu or by phone at (541) 346-7394.

Thanks,
Morgan
