Humber College Schools/Departments Are Invited to Develop and Submit Proposals for Innovative and Engaging Initiatives with Local Community Non-Profit Organizations
This funding opportunity supports projects delivered in the fall and winter semesters. In this round of funding the HCCP Fund selection panel will also consider proposals for small demonstration projects.
Projects funded through this initiative provide the opportunity for academic schools and administrative departments to further cultivate relationships with partners and stakeholders – bringing the community to Humber and taking Humber into the community in support of Humber’s new Strategic Plan.
The priority of these initiatives is to enhance the lives of local children, youth, Aboriginal peoples, newcomers and other groups who would benefit from projects that enrich learning and increase exposure and access to post-secondary educational possibilities. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or build organizational capacity of community agencies who share this same focus.
Project proposals that are collaboratively developed with community partners from the initial stages of conceptualization to implementation are highly encouraged. These jointly designed and developed projects should foster community engagement, involvement and address identified community needs. The funds are not available for events but rather substantive partnerships that engage members of the community and have a lasting impact.
Having Humber students participate in projects is welcome, as long as their involvement is an opportunity to deepen and apply theoretical knowledge but not tied to receiving grades for their role; they could, for example, be involved through a mentoring role as a volunteer or in a paid position.
Submissions due: Friday, June 13, 2014, by 5 p.m.
Email: lynn.vanlieshout@humber.ca to receive funding application and guidelines
Email: sabra.desai@humber.ca to discuss possible funding ideas, links to community partners and to refine concepts.
