The following message is from the Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement:
Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students,
I am writing to announce an exciting opportunity to secure funding for your projects through the new Fund for Mary Washington Impact Grants. Through this pilot program, donor-funded grants of $500 to $5,000 will be awarded to support projects and initiatives that advance programs, lead to professional/academic growth, and/or exemplify the University’s ASPIRE values.
The application form is now open at alumni.umw.edu/impactgrants, and the deadline to apply is March 29. Proposals will be accepted from faculty, staff, and student leaders applying on behalf of recognized student organizations. UMW’s Alumni Association Board of Directors, with input from the Young Alumni Council, will evaluate proposals on the criteria outlined here. Finalists will be announced by April 15 and will be invited to present their proposals on the morning of April 20, when final funding decisions will be made. Grants will support projects and initiatives to be completed between May 2024 and May 2025. The attached flyer provides an overview, and answers to FAQs are available here.
Please reach out to Executive Director of Development Beth Hunsinger ’01 with questions: ehunsing@umw.edu or (540) 654-2068.
