Venture Grants
MCC awards Venture Grants of $1,000-$3,500 to individuals or groups from member institutions to encourage the development or expansion of community service programs, service-learning opportunities, and/or civic engagement activities. Community service includes volunteer activities/projects which meet the needs of the community. Service-learning integrates within the academic curriculum a thoughtfully organized service experience and provides structured opportunities for students to think, talk, or write about thir service participation (reflection). Civic engagement includes engaging students in a public purpose, social action, advocacy, community-based research, citizenship and/or renewing the civic mission of higher education.
Cycle 38 is now closed. Please check back in January 2010 for cycle 39. For questions about the Venture Grant Program or application process please contact Ryan Fewins, Assistant Director for Training and Technical Assistance at rfewins@micampuscompact.org or 517.492.2424.
