Great question! There's a lot that goes into making a strong application. Specifically: a strong application will have read the guidelines, reviewed past mini-grants, and understood the intent and vision of the program. It will identify a complex problem in the local community with at least two health, social, or environmental aspects. It will propose a creative, thoughtful solution that is firmly grounded in the arts and humanities.

You can request funding for a variety of different expenses to support your project, including honoraria for speakers, professional services, printed materials, and more. For a list of allowable expenses, read the mini-grant guidelines. You can also request a review of your budget by our team.

It depends. As part of Seize the Moment, we're interested in outcomes that address intersecting health, social, and environmental issues through a transdisciplinary approach based in the arts and humanities. For these mini-grants, we're looking for outcomes with a wide public impact that engage the larger community. Additionally, we really like it when outcomes produce documents, media, or other deliverables and assets that extend the value of the project beyond the course. In the past, some of our favorite outcomes have been podcasts, videos, public events, and art performances.
