2026 Inspiration Diversity Campus Grants
Fueling Creativity, Connection, and Change at OFIC Member Campuses
OFIC is pleased to announce the continuation of our campus grants to support programming which addresses broadly defined issues around the themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Awards are in the amount of $2,500 each and will be awarded to a campus program which helps engage, enlighten, and connect OFIC students in a manner which boosts their knowledge and experience as they journey and navigate their diversity pathway.
Proposals for an Inspiration Diversity Campus Grant may be made in support of existing or new campus programming which involves current students along with faculty, staff, alumni, or trustees. The programming does not need to be original to your campus and may be one which you are replicating or modifying for your campus.
Please fill out your form by April 30, 2026!
Guidelines: Limit your proposal to the provided form, plus two additional pages that may be uploaded through the form informing us of your program and its impact. Include how you will engage students in the planning and implementation of the program, along with how you will be measuring overall outcomes. Consider partnering with campus colleagues, such as your career center staff, to explore how your program might impact career exploration or readiness. Also, a simple preliminary budget showing how the funds will be used is required. No idea should be considered too big or too small.
