Community Partnerships Grants

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to apply?

University of Pennsylvania faculty (standing and non-standing), staff, departments, programs, and centers are eligible to apply in collaboration with community arts and civic non-profits and organizers.

What do the grants support?

Community Partnerships Grants are intended to support collaborations between Penn faculty, staff, programs, departments, and centers, and community arts and civic non-profits and organizers—to cultivate meaningful partnerships between Penn and its surrounding communities. Projects should be community-centered, and the applicants should clearly explain what communities they plan to engage, how, and what they intend the impact to be. Examples of previously supported projects can be reviewed on our website.

How much can I apply for?

Community Partnerships Grant applicants may request up to $15,000, a significant portion of which should go directly to the community partner(s) and/or to the communities being served.
