Good morning, everyone!

The Center for Social Change is once again partnering with the Nielson Family to offer the Nielson Social Change Innovation Grant. 

This grant  provides Lewis & Clark College undergraduate students with funds to cover costs such as equipment or technology, educational resources, travel expenses, or other items used to strengthen grassroots efforts for progressive, systemic social change either in the US or abroad.  

The grant prioritizes applications that address community outreach and education, leadership development, root cause and power analysis, and coalition building.  Proposals that directly address racial equity and social justice will be prioritized. Amounts awarded range from $500-$5000.

If you know anyone that is interested in applying, please direct them towards the Center for Social Change either in person or online. Please feel free to see what other students have accomplished. This is truly an incredible opportunity for students to enact tangible change within their communities.

Online resources for this grant application are HERE

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this email or start a separate email thread. We are also physically located in Fowler 320, next to IME.

Have a great week,

Jorge Orozco-Roller
