Fund your student org project today!
Apply for a grant of up to $200 (10 grants available) to be awarded to UDM student organizations and their org university 800 accounts in support of activities that promote Detroit Mercy’s mission. Celebrate Spirit themes (radical hospitality, stewardship of creation, solidarity, joy) or Mercy critical concerns and Jesuit values (racism, immigration, non-violence) are given priority.
The mini mission grant encourages students to actively participate in embodying the Detroit Mercy values and empowers students with seed money to take action on their ideas and foster a culture of entrepreneurship and initiative. It also helps to cultivate a sense of community and belonging by emphasizing fellowship and collaboration to promote positive change, which involves social change, by addressing poverty, advocacy for marginalized communities or pursing environmental sustainability.
Only four criteria are needed for a project or activity to receive a grant:
- The project or activity must promote one or more elements of Detroit Mercy’s mission.
- Students must be personally involved in the project or activity (no pass-through funding of other people’s projects).
- You must be a student at the University during the time the project or activity takes place.
- The grant monies must be spent by April 30, and a short summary of the event (used for media purposes) and three to four pictures/short videos of the event must be submitted to the University Ministry Office.
The application is available now, and grants will be awarded until Feb. 28.
For more information or any questions, please contact Director of University Ministry Anita Klueg at kluegag@udmercy.edu.
