    Feb 9, 2026 9:00 am by Wanda E. Ward. Ph.D.

    The Campus-Community Compact is pleased to announce the upcoming Building Beyond the Barriers Grant Program. This funding opportunity will support collaborative projects between campus and community partners that meet the demonstrated needs of Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households and advance one or more of the Compact’s six focus areas: 

    • Accessible Technology 

    • Community Health, Wellness, and Opportunity 

    • Community Relations  

    • Economic Development  

    • Inclusive Education 

    • Workforce Development  

    The program will award a total of $100,000, with individual grants ranging from $10,000 to $30,000.  

    This funding opportunity is intended for evidence-based engagement and collaborative implementation, rather than research. 

    Applications open February 9, 2026, and close April 9, 2026. A virtual information session will be held on February 16, 2026.
