Minigrants avail for Campus250 programming – Sep 30
Posted by PHENND on September 16, 2025
Campus Philly and PHENND—two long-standing organizations dedicated to connecting and strengthening Greater Philadelphia’s higher education community—have teamed up to launch Campus250, a special grant program supporting innovative programming in celebration of America’s 250th birthday in 2026.
With support from the Philadelphia Funder Collaborative for the Semiquincentennial, Campus250 will provide funding to regional colleges and universities, and their partners, to bring bold, community-driven projects to life. Together, we’ll showcase the creativity and impact of our region through events, exhibitions, performances, and more.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Campus250 is designed to spark collaboration, creativity, and civic pride.
Funded projects will:
- Celebrate the history, culture, and diversity of Greater Philadelphia
- Engage students, faculty, staff, and the wider community
- Strengthen connections between higher education institutions and community partners
There will be two rounds of funding. Projects taking place in Spring 2026 should apply by September 30th. There will be a second round of funding for Fall 2026 projects; those applications will be due January 30th.
We also had an info session on September 11th. In case you missed it, you can listen to the recording here.
