Princeton University

The Fund for Intergroup Collaboration is designed to benefit the Princeton University community by supporting new intergroup collaborative programming efforts. The Fund will provide financial support for initiatives that improve and enhance understanding among our increasingly diverse community members and groups. Through this Fund, it is hoped that organizations will broaden their programmatic efforts and engage with each other in the planning, development, and implementation of projects which strengthen the complexity and depth intergroup understanding. The fund is not intended to support long-standing, existing activities. Please consider other sources of financial support if the program occurs on an annual basis.

1. Applications must be student initiated and reflect a collaboration of at least two distinctly diverse groups and include a description of the partnerships or collaborations with other offices, groups, or community organizations necessary to plan and implement the program.
2. The applicants must be prepared to thoroughly outline the ways in which the collaborative effort will strengthen our community with respect to increasing intergroup understanding.
3. The proposed program should offer members of the Princeton community the opportunity for meaningful inquiry, interaction, and learning around ethnic, racial, religious and/or other differences. Such programs should encourage the participants to examine their own assumptions, habits, and prejudices by exposing them to other experiences and perspectives.
4. The application must state the diverse audiences or sets of participants that the program is designed to attract.
5. All funding approvals must be supported by an evaluation form, following completion of the program or future requests/distribution of funds may be denied.

If your application is incomplete or the Committee is in need of supplemental information, you will be contacted for follow-up before a final decision is made. You should allow a minimum of three weeks between proposal submission and the projected program date for planning purposes.
