REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
REQUEST FOR PROGRAMMING PROPOSALS
The Campus Kitchens Project (CKP), through funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), is proud to provide funding opportunities for schools to develop campus and community projects that will honor Dr. King’s legacy of service. CKP has been selected to bring college students and the community together to address issues surrounding hunger by engaging youth, the elderly and underserved populations in volunteerism with their local Campus Kitchen.
Grants will be awarded for up to $2,000 for Campus Kitchens and partners to host a MLK Day of Service program on Monday, January 18, 2010 with an emphasis placed on recruiting volunteers from community-based organizations and disadvantaged youth. Funds may also be used to develop a semester of service program, kick-off of a new Campus Kitchen and/or build the Campus Kitchen volunteer base through one-time service events. All schools within the CKP network, schools developing a Campus Kitchen and partner agencies are eligible for funding.
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES
We are pleased to offer a number of grants, ranging from $500 to $2,000 to our affiliates and out-of-network partners. These grants are made possible by the generous support of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Please note that the grants are subject to availability of federal funds appropriated for CNCS and awarded to CKP.
