Now in its 19th year, the Mission Micro-Grant Program awards annual grants of up to $200 to any full or part-time Detroit Mercy faculty or staff member in support of a wide range of activities that promote Detroit Mercy’s mission of being a Catholic, Mercy, Jesuit, urban and student-centered university.

There are only four criteria a project or activity must meet to be considered for a Mission Micro Grant:

  • The project or activity must promote one or more elements of Detroit Mercy’s mission.
  • You must personally be involved in the project or activity.
  • You must be employed by the University during the time the project or activity takes place.
  • The grant monies must be spent in the same fiscal year in which they are received.

Please visit the Mission Micro-Grant website to learn more about what type of projects are eligible for funding and project deadlines. You can also browse previously funded projects and activities.

The application process is very simple. One-page online applications are due Friday, Oct. 9. PLEASE NOTE: Only one grant application may be submitted per project.

Questions can be sent to Rosemary Weatherston at weatherr@udmercy.edu.
