Grants Available to Institutions of Higher Education to Promote MLK Day of Service 2010

The application deadline for this opportunity is August 12, 2009.

NC Campus Compact, a national lead agency selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service to promote the 2010 MLK Day of Service, is now accepting applications from out-of-network institutions of higher education. . Last year we awarded $25,000 in out-of-network funds to 28 institutions who mobilized 5800 volunteers on the 2009 MLK Day of Service.

Grants are available in increments of $1,000 and $2,500. Institutions in the following states are not eligible to apply for an out-of-network grant because the Campus Compact state office applied for an in-network grant: Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Applications are accepted from institutions in any state not mentioned above. We strongly encourage applications on behalf of a group/coalition of institutions, but please note that only one institution can serve as the subgrantee.
The Request for Proposals and Application are available at this link.
