Dialogue Grant Program
Main content start
Overview
The Office for Inclusion, Belonging, and Intergroup Communication (IBIC) supports students, staff, and faculty in developing projects that foster meaningful connections and mutual understanding through intergroup communication. The Dialogue Grant Program provides funding for initiatives that encourage open and thoughtful conversations, creating opportunities to explore a wide range of perspectives and experiences.
Project Guidelines
- Projects must benefit a group — whether it’s your club members, a group of friends, or the general public, there must be multiple people participating in/learning from your project.
- Projects must involve some opportunity to dialogue and learn from one another. A project relying solely on a one way transfer of knowledge (i.e. a lecture or presentation) will not be accepted.
- Projects should relate their topic matter to the lived experiences of Stanford community members.
- Projects should be led by Stanford community members – projects focused solely on external speakers/presenters will not be accepted.
Funding Guidelines
- Maximum funding is $500. Generally speaking, the DGP committee will not award funding beyond $20/person based on your attendance estimate.
- Funds may be used for direct costs related to the proposed project, such as food or catering, supplies (e.g. printouts, pens, craft supplies) and room rentals.
- Funds may not be used for alcohol, speaker honoraria, durable goods (e.g. camera, microphone), personal stipends, merchandise, raffles, or transportation expenses.
