MLK Challenge 2011 Out-of-Network Higher Education Grants

Deadline: September 10, 2010

North Carolina Campus Compact, a national lead agency selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service to promote the 2011 MLK Day of Service, is now accepting applications from out-of-network institutions of higher education. Last year 36 institutions in 15 states, plus the District of Columbia, received $30,000 in out-of-network funds to support MLK Day.

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 received an in-network grant: Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington and West Virginia. Campuses in these states should contact the Campus Compact state office to determine eligibility to apply for a mini-grant.

Out-of-Network 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.
