Campus Compact 2026 Election Rapid Response Mini-Grants – Apply by Aug 21

Posted by Campus Compact on August 11, 2026

Election seasons are among the most powerful opportunities higher education has to engage students and communities in civic life. The Election Rapid Response Mini-Grant Program offers $500-$5,000 in funding to campuses that will supplement nonpartisan civic engagement efforts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Funding can be implemented in one of two windows:

  • Get involved: Running from September to November, this phase supports pre-election voter education, mobilization, and Election Day preparation
  • Keep momentum: Running from November to January, this phase supports post-election reflection and continued civic organizing

Campus Compact member campuses are invited to apply to extend, seed, or accelerate work already underway. Apply today to seize this moment with innovative, student-centered approaches.

Learn more and apply by August 21.
