The UWM Social Compact Grants committee is seeking applications for grants that support or initiate quantifiable solutions to alleviating poverty in Milwaukee.
Grant proposals must illustrate strategies for demonstrating measurable outcomes and lead to sustainable collaborations or efforts. From the $200,000 available, the committee will award an unspecified number of grants of up to $25,000 each.
The Social Compact Grants program is part of a larger effort for UWM, in conjunction with community partners, to continue responding to the challenges associated with poverty in Milwaukee. These efforts are designed to engage a broad cross section of the campus and community and bring diverse perspectives to solving problems and creating value in society.
Each grant application must have at least one UWM partner and at least one community partner. Applications may have multiple partners from the community, university or both and correspond to the partners identified on the application cover page. Interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
The deadline for applications is April 14. For more information, call Christy Uttech at (414) 229-4331.
