The Women's Enrichment Fund is designed to support initiatives that will enrich the experiences of women faculty, staff, and students at Iowa State University. For the 2005-06 fiscal year, $25,000 is available to be awarded in "mini-grants" to support initiatives affecting women on the ISU campus. Funds may also be requested for seed money to stimulate additional donations from other sources in support of women. Examples of initiatives eligible for funding might include:
- Leadership programs for women faculty, staff, and students
- Enrichment or development of courses on topics related to women's issues
- Lectures by outstanding women leaders and role models
- Mentoring programs for women faculty, staff, and students
Mini-grant proposals may be requested by faculty, staff, or student organizations. The maximum about that may be requested this year is $5,000.
2005 Women's Enrichment Mini-Grant call for proposals will be out soon - tentatively late September/early October.
If you'd like to learn more about the grant program and see some programs funded in 2004, please mark your calendar for Monday, September 12 12:00 - 1:00 pm in the Pioneer Room, Memorial Union. Bring your lunch and listen to a panel present their successful programs. Q & A will follow.
