The American Psychological Foundation is inviting applications for its 2020 Visionary Grants.

The APF Visionary Grants program seeks to seed innovation in the field through supporting research, education, and intervention projects and programs that use psychology to solve social problems in the following priority areas: applying psychology to vulnerable, at-risk populations (e.g., serious mental illness, returning military, those who are incarcerated or economically disadvantaged); preventing violence; understanding the connection between behavior and health (e.g., wellness, diabetes, obesity); and understanding and eliminating stigma and prejudice (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability and socioeconomic status).

Grants of up to $20,000 will be awarded through the program.

Preference will be given to pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies and “demonstration” projects that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.

To be eligible, applicants must be a graduate student or early-career researcher (no more than ten years postdoctoral) and be affiliated with a nonprofit charitable, educational, or scientific institution or a governmental entity operating exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

See the American Psychological Foundation website for complete program guidelines, application instructions, and information about previous awardees.

Deadline: April 1, 2020

Since 1983, the AccessLex Institute has continually evolved to meet the ever-changing challenges and needs of the law students and the institutions it serves by conducting and commissioning research that illuminates the most critical issues facing legal education today.

To that end, the institute’s Diversity Pipeline Research Grant Program provides funding to programs and initiatives aimed at helping college students and/or college graduates from historically underrepresented groups successfully matriculate into law school and the legal profession.

The primary goal of the program is to increase the knowledge base around effective methods for increasing the enrollment and success of law students from historically underrepresented racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Accordingly, the institute seeks to fund collaborative programs that provide participants with meaningful content and experiences as well as holistic support. Funded programs must engage in rigorous program evaluation, systematically measure outcomes, and identify scalable best practices.

The institute will accept and review Letters of Intent for the program from March 1 to March 31. Applicants invited to submit a full proposal will be notified by May 31, with full proposals due by June 30 and funding invitations announced by September 30.

(To learn more about diversity pipeline programs, characteristics of successful programs, and the need for better evaluation of programs, see the institute’s reports, Diversity Pipeline Programs in Legal Education and Priming the Pump: How Pipeline Programs Seek to Enhance Legal Education Diversity.

Deadline: March 31, 2020 (Letters of Intent)

The Impact Fund provides grants to advance social justice in the areas of civil and human rights, environmental justice, and poverty law.

To that end, the organization awards grants of up to $50,000 to nonprofit legal service providers, private attorneys, and/or small law firms seeking to advance justice in the areas of civil rights, human rights, anti-poverty, and environmental justice cases that affect a marginalized group. Grants typically range between $10,000 and $25,000 and are usually awarded for a particular case, but occasionally the fund will support a series of cases connected by a common strategy. Most grants are for class actions, but multi-plaintiff and environmental justice cases that aim to significantly affect a larger system are encouraged.

Impact Fund grants may be used for out-of-pocket litigation expenses such as expert fees and discovery costs, but may not be used for attorney’s fees, staff, or other overhead.

For the summer 2020 grant cycle, Letters of Interest must be received no later than April 7. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by May 5.

See the Impact Fund website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.

This seminar with AK Thompson will provide an opportunity to revisit the arguments about representation, whiteness, violence, and the political presented in Black Bloc, White Riot and to reflect on their significance for radical left forces navigating the current terrain.

Please join us Saturday, February 29, in Philadelphia. Visit our website for full details.

Black Bloc/White Riot

As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we are taking time to reflect about the future of our work, both as an institution and being part of a collective of higher education institutions focused on civic engagement. As the field of university-community partnerships has grown over the past decade, we, along with our peers, have seen significant success in increasing the hours of student volunteerism in our communities, expanding service learning and community engaged scholarship and building educational pipeline initiatives that support young people in gaining access to opportunities that can lead them to higher education. However, the issues that affect the communities in which we are situated are urgent, and as we move into the future of this work we must ask, are we taking a “critical” approach to civic engagement? By this we mean are we focused on calling attention to and working towards the dismantling of the structures of injustice that exist in our communities and creating meaningful, sustainable social change? Where our effects touch the surface, how can we push deeper and make broader and more inclusive transformation?

At this symposium we will reflect on these questions and our own work at Rutgers University—Camden but will also create a space for a deeper conversation across the field of higher education and critical civic engagement. How are we addressing inequity through civic engagement work? How are we thinking critically about partnerships that take into consideration issues of social justice, race, class, power, and institutional change/transformation? Who are we engaging with and how are we centering the experiences and stories of those in the communities in which we work, and who is left out? What challenges or mistakes have we made when aiming to work from this perspective and how have we course corrected? Over the course of the day, we will discuss these complex questions, share best practices and challenge each other to reflect on our work in new ways.

We are seeking invited proposals to present at the symposium that are focused on addressing the questions above, specifically through the lens of K12 education, college access or educational pipeline approaches, health equity or initiatives that focus on centering the voices and experiences of residents. Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words outlining the topical area(s) you will address and how the presentation will respond to the critical questions above by March 13, 2020. Each panel will be one hour, with 15 minutes for each presentation. Each external panelist will be paired with a Rutgers University—Camden faculty or staff person who will also present on the panel. There will be 30 minutes for discussion with the attendees. Please send abstracts to:

Nyeema C. Watson, associate chancellor of civic engagement, Rutgers University—Camden, ncwatson@camden.rutgers.edu

Lauren Silver, Associate Professor of Childhood Studies and Faculty Director of Engaged Learning and Scholarship, ljsilver@camden.rutgers.edu

The symposium will take place from 12:00 – 6:00 on the Rutgers University—Camden campus. The symposium is FREE but all invited presenters will need to cover their own travel expenses to attend. The symposium will end with the annual Chancellor’s Awards for Civic Engagement celebration, honoring our faculty, staff, students, alumni and community partners.

Rajan, author of The Third Pillar: How Markets and the State Leave the Community Behind, will discuss how healthy local communities are a critical support for balanced economic growth.

Master the different requirements and expectations for various gift vehicles, the management of expenses and the role of recognition and accountability and budgeting.

Building this relationship starts with the first giving experience and continues as you create and enhance connections with the right messages, marketing, activities and communications. While there will always be elements that impact fundraising over which we have no control, such as the economy, there are factors upon which we can have great impact. When nearly half of donors blame “poor communications” for why they stopped giving to an organization, including lack of information on how donations are used, no acknowledgements and feeling that they were not needed, your potential influence on donor retention by behavior, attitudes, policies and actions, is clear.

This webinar will share practical tips on how you can positively impact donor retention, building a solid foundation for both ongoing financial support and a network of committed supporters.

When: 3/24/20, noon to 1 pm

Special Webinar Bundle Deal: Choose any 3 webinars for $48 for Members or $60 for Non-Members, using promo code Web 3.
