Deadline: January 31, 2025

Applications are open for the Interfaith America Strengthening the Campus Community Grants 2025. In the weeks and months following the 2024 election, it is more important than ever to cultivate, support, and empower student leadership on campuses across the country. The divisive nature of the election season highlighted the ongoing tensions in the civic life and within US campus communities. Following the election, there is an opportunity for leadership on campuses that brings people together on issues of common concern.

Interfaith America’s Strengthening the Campus Community grants are intended to support projects that bring together a diverse group of students in order to bridge meaningful divides on their campus or between students on campus and their local community. Strong applications will include activities, programs, groups, or events that leverage interfaith and bridgebuilding skills for concrete and meaningful actions in post-election America. These initiatives should also be focused on engaging undergraduate students. As the US moves into the period after the election, interfaith America hopes these grants will fund projects that respond to meaningful needs on campuses as they seek to unite a diverse range of perspectives.
