Campus Progress Action Alliance

Youth or student-led organizations. High school students are not eligible; the emphasis is on young adults and college students. *Action Grants are given for specific issue campaigns - not general organizational funding, charitable works, publications, or specific events. If your campaign is focused on changing the behavior of an individual or group (for example, making your campus a welcoming place for GLBT students or getting your Governor to enforce environmental regulations), then your campaign is probably eligible. *If you need help to organize a specific event, as opposed to a long-term campaign, please click here to request assistance from the Campus Progress Events Team, or email speakers@campusprogress.org. We also offer grants for progressive campus publications. You can find out more by checking out the Campus Progress Publications Network, applying for a grant for your campus publication, or contacting us at publications@campusprogress.org. *Action Grants are to be used in accordance with the purposes of a nonprofit educational 501(C)(3) organization only, which can include campaigns on ballot initiatives, legislation; changing school policies, etc., but never partisan or electoral candidate activities. *Action Grants are very rarely given to student groups that are chapters of other national, state, or regional organizations, especially if those organizations are not led by students. We want to devote our scarce resources mostly to campus groups that don’t have other potential sources of national support. We do occasionally make exceptions, so let us know of any extenuating circumstances that we should be aware of when making our decision. If you are part of a chapter of a national organization, we can still help with events related to your campaign.
